A thread of my drawing process yay
do not take this as advice iā€™m not awesome
ā€œWobb what do you use to draw?ā€

I use an app on my Phone, ā€œibisPaint Xā€
Yes I use my finger, yes you can scream at me now.

I do have a tablet & pen and it would probably be better, but Iā€™ve gotten so used to draw on my phone.
Itā€™s a very nice app tho. You have tons of tools & features. Lots of effects and stuff too. All for free :) Check it out.
You might need to watch an ad for certain brushes, but itā€™s only one ad and it gets you through the whole day.

Anyways, hereā€™s how I draw:
When Iā€™m drawing, I start drawing small. Itā€™s easier to see everything that way and itā€™s less work to fix mistakes.

If Iā€™m drawing a person, I draw their face & head first. Then the rest of the body before hair & clothes.

i do not know anatomy so i try my best
Then, I make the whole drawing larger until it fills the canvas from top to bottom

And I draw over it with nicer lines and add any little details along the way
I might adjust some things too. You can see the head got smaller and facial features got moved.
(Iā€™ll only draw the top part of the drawing for this thread)
I hate doing hands ;)
Whenever doing them, I create another layer, just for drawing hands because I know Iā€™ll mess up a ton

I just try figuring out how the pieces of the hand will be, then I draw the final (ugly) hand after giving up enough times
Coloring time! I make a layer under the line layers, get a big brush and start coloring.
I have separate color layers for each area Iā€™m coloring.

Here, the colors for hair, the skin, and the shirt are on different layers
Shading!!!
Each coloring layer gets a shading layer above it. I like to make the shades be a darker & bluer version of the color

I also like making it so shadows from being covered are darker and/or harder than shadows that just come from being away from light
Thennn I add light stuff (whatever u would call those)
I try not to make them too noticeable
Then I add any cool effects I want :)

I like adding whites and blacks in certain areas and then blurring them
Finally, I post it on Twitter and realize all the mistakes I made and things I forgot to do
