arrow keys click/tap spacebar 1: proportion blob 2-3: sketch 4-5: lineart 6: flat colors 7: shading+eye gradients. It really comes to life here! 8: background shape 9: gradient+finished! DETAILS ON HOW I DID IT I zoomed into one corner, made some basic shapes, and used the Transform tool to enlarge it. I then turned the opacity of that layer down, added another layer, and sketched out some lines. The opacity of the brush was turned down too. Next, I deleted the shapes layer, and began with the line art. Brush at full opacity, and the stabilizer was so helpful wow Then, on a layer below the lineart, I colored it in with some flat colors. On a layer on top of the colors, I add a clipping mask and set the blending mode to multiply. I selected a light warm tone and shaded with it. it was almost white, so the shading was softer. I still have hard edges, though. I merged the color, shading, and lineart together. Then I got a circular snap and drew the background circle, turned on alpha lock and made the gradient with the blur tool and the airbrush. um don't do what I did you should always flip the canvas I didn't *cries* RIP their left ear and their eyes #art
