Description
Reblog from my Tumblr ?Please read my commentary before asking any more questions~! thanks
Finished Work:
Edit: I've had a few repeated question of how I work my lineart into the drawing.
I'd like to clarify that i don't really actually have a clean line-art. I have clean-sketches that I work under, but they're not what I personally call lineart. If you zoom in, they are very messy. I do merge the layers together at some point in step 5, and I continue to literally work the colours of the lineart into the skin (which is why i turned the sketch layer into overlay so the colours become very similar and nice to work with). That way I can get an almost none-lineart quality.
also, if you're wondering about canvas sizes, check out my journal about them: [link]
The program I used was Painttool SAI, but I think you can achieve similar effects via photoshop with a low-opacity textured brushes.
I hope this helped : ) Sorry it's so darn long. I kept it as short as I could but it's still a pretty long process.
Please keep in mind this is more of a guide to my painting process and how I technically go about doing this; It's not going to automatically teach you how to render or understand structure or anatomy (which I hope I will cover in more tutorials in the future.), which is very important, of course, to the painting itself. That's why I'll be slowly going through and doing more tutorials on anatomy and structure in the next few months, hopefully
A good practice for rendering is actually to do still life and human sketches. preferably with a pencil, and not digitally (yet)
Step-by-step animation:
In the mean time, have some of my other anatomy tutorials:

This is sooo helpful! I've been looking everywhere for a tutorial on how to better work a clean sketch into the color, but it seemed that no one does that except for me! Until now of course. xD Thanks so much!

This is great! Really helpful and I'm sure I'll come back and refer to this when I'm working on my own stuff Can I ask how big a canvas you use and the resolution and stuff when you set it up if you know what I mean?
Also to answer your question: hands holding things - it's always something I struggle with.

May i ask a question please ? when you zoom it looks like the image doesnt' pixelate !!! how did you do that
When you drew this beautifull painting how much was the resolution ?
Is it 300 pixel or more than tha ,
π: 0 β©: 1
Qinni In reply to Dreamart101 [2013-03-30 11:31:14 +0000 UTC]
I actually wrote a journal regarding canvas sizes here: [link]
300 pixels are actually extremely small, I think what you meant to say is 300dpi. However, 300 dpi isn't a size; it's more like a type of measurement transferring actual inches into digital pixels.

Dreamart101 In reply to Qinni [2013-03-30 16:48:51 +0000 UTC]

oh my god...
This looks so incredibly beautiful
How long did it took you?
The tutorial is great! i always tough that background goes as the last thing, but when i got to it i never drew it
My answer to your question is: Head

Qinni In reply to Lucy-Livija [2013-03-30 09:58:40 +0000 UTC]
thanks. the picture took around weeks to complete. Background always comes first for me (or at least the tone the background will be in), that way the character's skin and cloths will reflect its surrounding colours, cementing her to the background more.

Lucy-Livija In reply to Qinni [2013-03-30 10:03:04 +0000 UTC]
Very interesting
Can i ask another question?
How long did it took you to get used to drawing in digital?(like, when you really like your art)
Its just im new at digital, and i think my work really suck and i shouldn't put them in dA.

KanaKuroDaiya [2013-03-30 09:20:47 +0000 UTC]
woah, thank you for this, super interesting XD
One question thou (I didn't quite grasp it ^^'): how do you make your lineart/lines to blend so smoothly with the rest? In point 5 you explained it but do you then paint over them or lower the opacity? I'm sorry, I just have so many problems with my lines standing out these days that I'm going mental trying different things and nothing seems to work (or maybe it's me obsessing about LOL)
Will check your other tuts now, thanks for taking your time to share

Qinni In reply to KanaKuroDaiya [2013-03-30 09:32:25 +0000 UTC]
I literally merge my lineart with my colours, all into one layer, and then keep working it into the drawing. So technically I guess you can say I paint over them, but I also kind of leave them; I work them into the skin, so it blends into the skin rather than me painting over it with another colour or something.
