DTIYSE |>| aa this was so fun :00 I love your character, it's so calming drawing her! I added lots of details for no reason x3 I hope you like her! <3 Process |>| [1 - Sketching] Pretty quick sketch! (This one wasn't, I actually had a lot of trouble with the pose xD) I used a 9B Pencil with size 20 and a reference photo from google. Red usually makes it easier to see, so I chose that. [2 - Second Sketch] This is where I start to get real. On a new layer over the first rough sketch, I used the pencil brush on a bright blue to get details and semi-final lines through. This is the last sketch. [3 - Lineart] This took a while ^^" I made it brown, the same color of the original picture's lineart. This is where I added a bunch of unneccesary details for fun xD I used the same pencil brush, but a bit thicker. Really like how this step turned out! [4 - Coloring] This usually takes pretty long, depending on the design. I use a base flat color to fill in everything, then get all the patterns, details, and the rest of the flat colors in. [shjdkgfsh your char is so cool :'0] [5 - Base Shading] aa I love shading sm! It's just really fun and relaxing <3 This was around where I got stuck inside procrasination ^^" Lots and lots of teeny little details later, I finished :0 You can really just use any old brush for shading, but for this base, I used a harder, more solid pencil brush. Think of where the lighting is, and the shading is on the opposite side. Also think of where the shadow casts and how it affects the objects around it. Play around a little! [6 - Second Shading Layer] I use lots of different layers for shading to give it dimension. Thankfully these last ones don't take too long at all [ew messy] With the giant conceptual 2 brush, I just messily trace over all my other shading, giving it a wider berth than before. [7 - Last Shading Layer] Same thing as before! I forgot to add this sooner, but I choose a color from the palette, and, using a new layer above the color layer [but under lineart] put the setting onto 'multiply' [8 - Overlay] Not much of a change, I set a nice brown onto 'overlay' and do a quick little base highlights. [9 - Final Highlights] Traced the major highlighting with the same brown on 'add', but make sure to lower the opacity! Otherwise it could be a little too much, but it depends on your opinion. [10 - Finish] Whew, finished! Added a watermark on overlay ;0
