Description edit: oops.. forgot to write on the last step, "added textures with overlay layers, added special effects" mehh

THIS IS NOT A TUTORIAL. this is just a walkthrough of what I did for this deviation.
I DID NOT INCLUDE ALL OF THE STEPS I TOOK TO MAKE THIS IMAGE.

Because I have a very experimental style, my work process doesn't always work like this.

This is on openCanvas4.5.18.

Finished piece here >>

...time for me to go to sleep now. lol everyone's prolly sleeping right now.

this is sweet. quick question though, if you have noses/mouths in the picture, do you paint them over, or just keep the lineart?

This is a really pointless question but I suppose you use a tablet for your digital drawings?

Oh, that's a very helpful tip; coloring under sketch and then defining colors over it...mm, I'll try it next time xD
LOL would it be because of the mouth cover? I had a headshot of a person wearing a mouth cover and my parents were like...what is that >>

Very inspiering walkthough^^
Like the fact that you used/showed your scaned piece because alot of peple (including me)think that the lineart allways has to be as beautyfull as your 2. picture, but that isn't always the case. It was very useful information. Thank you^^

I use open canvas and it really helps to see how to do this. I still don't know how to do stuff over, and under layers, but I guess I'll learn with time. Haha )) Thanks! and great work

Somebody copying your style is not an insult or offense. Far from it, it would be the ultimate homage. Asking for a young artist not to copy your stile comes as a little arrogant and I don't think you are such a person.

akirakirai In reply to Likodemus [2010-04-16 13:24:43 +0000 UTC]

Oh, you are definitely right, I'm not such a person though I wouldn't be insulted or offended if someone copied my style -- I'm just afraid of it. Hrm my parents didn't want me to make this walkthrough for God knows what kind of reason (they are greedy?) so errrr just echoing what they want me to say

I guess I'll reword it though.

Your parents are wise. People tend to steal other people's achievements but here on DA we all are a respectful bunch.

Then again...have you ever found your artwork in someone else's website?So a little search.
