Description
Just a little headshot process

1. THIS STEP IS OPTIONAL. Map out the basic shape of the neck and chest with circles and lines.

2. I usually go right to this. Sketch down the neck & head shape.

3. Do a messy sketch with step 2 at 20% opacity under it.

4. Trace over step 3 with smooth lines on a new layer above it, changing bits of things you don’t like. AKA lineart.

5. Put flat colors down under the lineart. I usually do every individual piece as a different layer because then I can alpha lock them to get specific details. Like the underbelly would be on a different layer than the scales or frill.

6. Do lighting and shading. Make a new layer and brush over it with a soft airbrush on the bottom half of the headshot in a dark purple color. Make sure that layer is on multiply. Then on that same layer with that same color make the specific shading. After you’re done with the shading, make a new layer and put it on overlay. Take a bright yellow and brush over the top half of the headshot in a diagonal motion with a soft airbrush. After, make a new layer ABOVE the lineart and set it to screen. Take a light yellow and make little highlights.

7. You’re done. There is no step 7. XD

Happy drawing!
