[fullscreen recommended] DISCLAIMER- crooked boi has a NOSE I SWEAR :flush e d: Hey hey heyy *spins in spinny chair* REAL sorry for being inactive today I was busy doing other things like life I wanted to make up for it! So I took an extra 3 1/2 hours out of my life to make this thumbnail!! I also wanted to make an art process project, so I combined the two :) And it was worth it!! I love the concept with the Mapleshade and Crookedpaw, it's so original aadfshagdhaf anyways, here is my process! Click to continue! [step 1!] - I start with a very thin, dark pen, and I sketch out the drawing! Now a lot to say about this one, it usually takes 2 minutes at the most, when it comes to trial and error, and thinking out scenes. [Step 2!] - I sketch out in a thicker, red pen, the rough lineart! I tweak the lineart every so often, and add shading spots! I also start on the background, in a more transparent view. [step 3!] - Lineart! I set the drawing in onion-skin mode, so I can see the layer I'm on more clearly, and I trace over the rough lineart with a smoother lineart! I also fill in the shading spots, eyelashes, pupils, etc. [step 4] - color! I use base colors and add the patterns on the fur, and Maple and Crooked's eyes! (I love those eyes so much- the dark forest eyes,, whoever came up with them,, is a literal genius aaa) [step 5!] Lineart coloring! Not too much to say! Just some healthy lineart color ;) [step 6!] - Shading!! Aaah this took so long :') Cell shading hasn't been being a good friend, lately, so it took a while to make this :/ I also included some airbrush shading, and the pink outline!. [step 7!] Finishing touches + background! Pretty self explanatory, to be honest. I added the bg, the title, and some extra airbrush shading in the corners, as well as darkening the layer :D That's about it! Click once more for the finished product!
