Description
Beware of text walls!
Just to make sure. This little project was done during the last two months (slow I know, but I really hadn’t that much free-time lately ;_;').
It started mainly as a flash practice I did to test out some new things. Still I ended up putting too much effort into it. ||OTL
Experimented with different techniques and gimmicks which I may use for my next serious interactive comic (…) I just did to spam your inboxes. *cough cough*
Ah well, well so I’m not sure whether this “Tutorial” will be helpful. But I added some little extras to make the read a bit more enjoyable.
And I really had fun doing the layout (ha ha took me probably the longest besides the programming).
Lust but not least. This little comic is dedicated to my friend ~Yumaki , since the painting is part of her epic fan book project. And also I want sent many hugs to my watchers. Really thanks for being there and supporting me.
Stay tuned and healthy everyone.
Edit. Oh - my - god!
Seriously all of you are just awesome. <3 ;A; I'm totally awestrucked right now... Awww really thank you for all the nice feedback.
Edit2. Holy cow! A DD?!! You guys rock, THANKS!!!

Aww, firstly thanks a lot for your nice comment. >v<
And don't give up on working without outlines - if you really like to learn and practice it I'm sure you can do it. ^w^
Believe me the first year I started with this technique I only produced epic failures. XD

XD that's a good one, will keep the epic failure in mind. I think I can but it already took me more then a year to basically draw a manga figure -.- and it still has anatomy fails in them. I'm drawing manga for about 7 years now and still haven't mastered it.

Wow I'm really glad it was helpful for you. Thanks a lot for reading it. ^^
And ha ha yeah those mysterious tutorials where you have to wonder how they actually made it. Well and I looked at your newest piece and I think you did a big step forward. The dark coloration looks a lot smoother and more painterly. Good job. ^^

Thank you very much, and no problem! I took my time and actually tried to apply some of the techniques you mentioned as well as rounding my own standards, and overall was very happy with the result. Digital painting is just such a completely different realm it was somewhat difficult to adapt! But you've definitely got it down to a science

And please keep up your nice work.

This was very helpful, not really in a how-to sense, but to know that I'm not the only one who takes hours upon hours on steps like those. For me to stay in for the long stretch, it helps to know that I'm not the only one there.
