Elfie Process!
🕑 Added 2016-09-09 04:30:40 +0000 UTC After posting the process for the fel druid, I thought Iβd write more about such things. My techniques are a strange and constantly evolving thing (as some of you might have noticed, looking at my drawings from even a few months ago :P), but this is what works for me currently! Right now! At this very moment!- Flats. I fill in all the empty spaces. Like doing a coloring book, basically
- Then comes the shading. My style leans towards comic-esque, and it has taken a few experiments to come up with something consistent in terms of where to shade in order to bring out the facial features
- Adding highlight is really my second favorite part about coloring. I like things glossy and shiny xD
- Canβt forget the blush π
- Okay, my favorite part about coloring is actually adding eyeshadow. I havenβt used any outlandish colors for any of the characters Iβve drawn actually... Usually itβs a darker shade of the color I use for the lips with Multiply for the blending mode
- Since the edges of things are often lit by ambient lighting, this step is actually quite important to make the drawing pop
And there you go! Let me know if you want to see more of this kind of posts! I will try to capture more process shots for the next thing Iβm working on! π
