i dont think my hetalia phase is ending any time soon DISCLAIMER: there is a gun in the drawing but it is censored so ST please don't take it down, space to uncensor ALSO THIS IS NOT A TUTORIAL THIS IS JUST HOW I DRAW scrath ruined the quality after experimenting with csp for a while, im slowly getting back into the rhythm of doing full digital art pieces like i used to. click to advance 1. thumbnail sketch i usually zoom in a lot and draw a quick sketch of what i am planning to draw and then i zoom out and enlarge it (which is why the brush is so large) 2. sketch i then lower the opacity of thumbnail sketch and trace over it with the actual sketch. it is still messy, but this time i include all the details because i will directly trace over with the lineart. 3. lineart i lower the opacity and trace over the sketch in a new layer. this time i made the eyes different because i wanted to experiment with a more anime style eyes with pupils 4. rendering this part takes the longest, and is usually what mostly defines my art style. im not going to elaborate too much because i might make a separate art process just for rendering. for the skin i like to use a muted blue or gray for the shadow shadow thing (idk what its called lol), for the hair i like adding dots of blues and reds to make it look more interesting (usually i use cooler tones in the back/in places of shadows and warmer tones in the highlights/main area). for the clothes i use a really dark and saturated color for shading and then blend it with a mid tone. for the eyes i had fun and went from cool --> warm for shadow --> highlights. (i like using orange as it contrasts with purple very well and makes it look very warm and glossy.) lastly i use alpha lock and color over the lineart to make it look more smooth 4. filters I use overlay to add transparency to the hairband brightness to the face. i fill the whole layer with overlay to create an atmosphere (i used orange/red to make it look warmer for the background). i airbrush color dodge with the color of the palette/main color (in this case light blue) along the bottom so it fades and also in focal points. finally i add a noise filter and watermark :)) more hetalia fanart because idk hetalia finland is looks like a cinnamon roll but could actually kill you ALSO if you're Finnish pls dont get offended, this has nothing to do with the actual country, its the anime character tino. drawn on clip studio paint with wacom intuos pro musik: clarinet sonata by brahms (idk where its from pls tell me if you find out) im sorry i will post composer content soon i swear ive been drawing a lot of fortea its just sketches :((( because i don't usually use tags B)
