Description First off, this is not a tutorial!

Rather, it's a step by step process of how I complete a piece of art. As many people will tell you, there is no one right way, this is just to show you how I work =} I haven't gone into depth with tools and techniques, I'll save that for a proper tutorial one day in the future.

Please enjoy!

*EDIT* - Re-uploaded with a larger file size, full view to see in better detail =}

Burn the shadows and dodge the colors... Makes sense! I'm totally going to use it from now on! Thank you so much for the tips!

I remeber this character back when I started browsing Deviantart. I thought she was a pretty cool gal.

neonjays [2013-09-07 14:46:20 +0000 UTC]

Um, I have a question. I understand how to do shading, eyes, and all the details, all I cant do is the most important part: the lineart. I cant get the lines to be straight enough and perfect enough! How do you do it?

Naive Question: What's a wacom and how did you get the sketch so perfect like a pencil drawing instead of a bitmap looking thing like I wind up fighting with on my own photoshop program?

PriffyViole In reply to penguin-katana [2013-02-21 14:34:17 +0000 UTC]

A Wacom is a kind of drawing tablet.

Oh..it's hard to use?

YamiiHime In reply to penguin-katana [2013-11-06 01:33:35 +0000 UTC]

Kinda. It's like... A fancy mouse. It's a drawing tablet, with a pen, but you can't see anything on the screen of the tablet, you can only see what you are doing on the computer screen, so it's kinda hard to use, but it's way easier than using a mouse alone. I hope that answered you question ^^
