Hey guys! Here’s a DMCE for @fridaydokifan! Hope he enjoys it! ^-^ I did my best to capture the OC but I’m not sure the vibe is right… lemme know so I can get it right in your doodle for the other thing, Doki! I also included a process with this so you guys can see my order of operations! Here’s a monologue of that: Sketch - A quick model of what I want to draw - pose, expression, etc. I lean pretty heavily on this and try to make it as perfected as possible, but some things still change from the sketch to the lineart. In this case, the wings and hair change pretty drastically. I always use a bright color so it can’t get mixed up with the lineart. Lineart - Not exactly like the sketch, but pretty close, obviously cleaner. Hair, wings, and clothing differed a bit. Base colors - Just quick color drops to act as a base for shading. Not much else to say. Shading - Light coming from top-right corner. This causes mainly leftward shadows, with a few lower down on the wings and neck. Downward shadows are lighter than leftward ones, since the light is more directly leftward. Highlights + Final Details - Hair highlights (these were weirdly hard, I tried like 5 styles before settling), blush, and shading on the bandages since I forgot that earlier haha Bg + Final Final Details - Background is just the same colors from the ref (blended using motion blur) and the “bokeh lights” brush for funsies. I also forgot to shade the eyes so I did that in this stage. And that’s it! Hope you enjoyed this, and have a great day!! <3 (No art tip today since I did one already)
