Description

Step by step of the Chibi BowBlow commission
character belongs to :iconmauveowl-arts:

(Haven't done a step-by-step in a while)


1) Simple Base Sketch
Mainly, I use simple shapes when trying to get a base idea. Lines, and circles.

2) Detailed Sketch
This is where I put all of the parts and detail over the basic sketch, sometimes the original sketch gets changed due to a characters anatomy. The original base becomes unrecognizable.

3) Lineart
Yep, lineart owo though, i have found a soft pencil tool that makes lineart so smooth and enjoyable again

4) Undercover Layer
that's just what i call it ówò it's so that there are no empty white spaces when inserting flats

5) Flats
*coughs* yeah flats

6) Shading
Can't exactly explain how i shade, but I mainly use the watercolor brush, and the dense watercolor brush.

7) Final Product
After adding an Overlay layer (or soft light layer, depends on what looks better), a Glow layer, and for this comm, i added a Screen layer to make it look like the characters appendages are disappearing into the background. all the effects make the character look more presentable and vibrant; nicer to look at and everything =w=
