So lately I've been doing more of the DTIYS challenges on artfol. I mentioned on my last piece that I feel like I'm really learning something new from each piece that I enter. This one really had me experimenting with colors for shading and the one before was really fascinating due to the odd lighting from the star she was holding. I highly recommend trying some if you never have. I think it puts me outside my comfort zone in a good way!
I wanted to show another process picture of making this piece! So you'll see the rough sketch, line art, base colors, and then the finished product with shading and an added background. I wanted to put the original piece in the center so you had an idea of where my concept came from! Well as always thanks for reading the rant!
First off a Merry late Christmas to you all! I hope that you had a great one! This is kind of a continuation of my last post in a continuation of my art process. This is of course my most recent drawing. I did use a picture of a contortionist for reference because it's hard to just imagine that position in my mind! Later on afterwards too I had to do an adjustment to the left arm as you'll notice in the finished picture it's in a different position. As lots of us do I asked what people thought and it confirmed what I was suspecting that it just didn't look right in perspective to the rest of the pose. (Never be too proud to ask other people's opinions).
As you can see I started with my rough basic sketch, followed by the line work, then you have the base colors, followed up by the end product which has the shading. All my digital work is done on a surface pro in Clip Studio. Hope you guys are enjoying these little inside looks into my process!
