☾ - - - Holy geez I havent posted in awhile :’) so sorry ahh School’s been stressful lately and I haven’t gotten a lot of time to draw. I’m on hiatus so please take this for now :pleading: Anyways, here’s an updated art process for 1K!! (Yes I know i said I would do a meme, and I will do that eventually, but just take this for now please qwq) Thank you guys so much, it’s always been a goal of mine for a long time, and now we’ve reached it :D This also a gift for my lovely friend @MooniiCat! She’s an amazing artist and animator, go give her a follow :D ***Please note, this is just kinda generally what I do for my art, and it doesn’t apply to every single piece. Remember, always keep experimenting and try to find what you like!! :D Just please don’t steal/trace/copy/heavily reference my art, I work hard on it :’)) Click, arrow keys, or space to proceed! [ Art Process ] ☾ Rough Sketch - A very rough, messy sketch just to plot where the basic proportions go. Just remember it doesn’t have to be perfect!! ☾ Clean-ish Sketch - Still pretty messy, but more detailed and cleaned up… kinda. This is the time to check if your proportions are correct and fix it, because many MANY drawings of mine have been ruined by incorrect proportions if I don’t flip the canvas :’) ALWAYS FLIP THE CANVAS PEOPLE IT SAVES YOUR LIFE /hj ☾ Lineart - I use black for the lineart, then set it to alpha lock, make it a purple color, and set the layer to multiply. This helps it blend with the colors better. ☾ Base color - On a new layer below the lineart, I use the base color of Yoru and just fill the whole thing with that color. I also change the background to a purple midtone. ☾ Added some color details on layers clipped to the base colors! ☾ Eye, ear, and paw pad details! Starting to come together :D ☾ Shading - I take a darker purple, slightly turn it blue, and on a new layer set to multiply clipped to the color layer, and shade with an airbrush. ☾ More shading ahah- I just use a darker blueish purple here on multiply again and go over the previous shading. ☾ Eye shading - I take a darker yellow, slightly green-ish color and shade the eyes. ☾ Next, I create a new layer above the shading layers, set it to multiply a g a i n, then fill the whole thing. I also take a soft airbrush and erase parts of it and lower the opacity. ☾ Lighting - It’s hard to see, but I take a light blue set to Hard Light and shade where the lighting would go. ☾ Now, I set a layer to add on top of the previous one, take the light blue (you might want to change it to a blue-teal color though) and shade.. again. ☾ Added eye highlights and a background! ☾ Highlighted the lineart, it’s a bit hard to see but I take a layer, set it to add, clip it onto the lineart, and just shade lol ☾ Background details with stars and stuff :P it’s like a galaxy ;w; ☾ More details :P ☾ Lighting in the top right hand corner! I just airbrush the corner and blur it a little. ☾ Same thing as before, but on top of the previous layer, and I set it to add!! Also added my watermark to prevent theft lmbo ☾ Final touches, including chromatic aberration!
