♔ Anonymous says: Can we some more of your processes in your more recent works? :0 Also, how clean do you usually make your sketch/lines before you start painting? Thank you! <3 ;;
No problem! Here is my process for the ravus picture I recently posted :) Breakdown:
1. Sketch: This is normally how my sketches will look like; thin lines (because it doesn’t obstruct the actual painting when I lower opacity, and I like thin lines) but clear enough so my color will have a good foundation to base upon. I don’t tend to linger on the sketch with the intention to make it as neat as possible; it’s more of a liberal hand that would be applied to my sketches, but controlled so there isn’t any unnecessary scribbling that might inhibit my comprehension of the piece.
2. Rough Color: I did have a rough idea of the palette I wanted to have: purple, thus every color that would end up in the piece would eventually harmonize with the purple. Lesser yellow, stronger blues, that sort of thing.
3. More stuff added
4. Here is where I turned off the sketch layer! One of my more favorite parts of the process :) Now it feels like I’ve got mostly everything out that I needed to, and all that is left to do is to paint without the lines.
5. Neatened up the background. The line is a placeholder for the sword
6. Still going!
7. Looks like here I had changed up the folds in the clothing
8. And this seems to be the last screenshot I took..
But that’s basically how it goes! I hope you find this informing! Thank you for messaging :)
