1/7 There is still work to do on this piece but I need to learn more before moving forward. While I do that, here is the #process that went into this #digitalart piece (made with #Krita):
2/7 First, I draw the crude lines:
3/7 Then I work the ‘ink’ on top of it. It looks like this in the end. I am then ready for the colouring part:
4/7 After that, I drop the primary colours for each part + highlights.
5/7 Then I add the main shadows.
6/7 Finally, I add a filter and secondary shadows which gives the drawing at the beginning of this thread. A few comments: 1. I discovered @davidrevoy coloring video *after* I was done with this piece. Next ones will have colorize masks 🙂
7/7 2. I miss notions about how to apply shadows. Sticking to the reference isn’t enough. 3. How does one easily blend colours to make the lighting transitions more natural? Please tell me how to improve. 4. Bonus point for finding who I drew there. Working on likeness too.
