♡ hold to zoom / space, tap, arrow keys ! ♡ Let me start off by saying, THANK YOU GUYS SO FRIKING MUCH FOR 500 IM CRYING THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR EVERYTHING THIS WOULDNT BE POSSIBLE WITHOUT YOU GUYS ! I honestly cannot comprehend it right now :'D I know I've reached this number before, but considering that I only moved here recently, it's quite surprising ;w; Thank you for the continuous support, encouragement, and love. I started coming to this site wanting to make some friends and meet some artists, but I never thought that I'd be here one day, saying all this <3 I'm so grateful for all of you. Thank you! A lot of you guys wanted to me to make an art process, so I thought I'd celebrate 500+ by making one! I'm not sure why any of you would want to see my drawing process but uh here >///< 1. Sketch! I'm just mapping out where things are and stuff. Sometimes I might draw another sketch with only the basic shapes used (the one showed is a more detailed sketch though) I flip the canvas a lot during this step 2. Line art! I like to set my sketch opacity to 50% so I can still see it :D My line art is pretty messy nowadays but it's part of my art style. I flip the canvas a lot here too :D 3. Flat colors! Not much to say, just putting all the colors in. I like to set my background color to a dark grey so I'd know if I color out of line 4. Blush and the patterns on the dress! 5. Shading :'D I like to set the new layer to 50% and multiply as the blend mode. I kind of just follow my gut here ;w; 6. Highlights :) I set the blend mode to color dodge and follow my gut again :') I also like to imagine a light source (in this case, it's coming somewhere behind her,, I think) 7. Switch the background back to white, colored the lineart, and worked on the eyes a bit! 8. Rendering, final touches, background! And yeah, that's my art process :> There's honestly not that much to it. I hope this helps you in any way!
