Description
I will add a more elaborate explanation of the steps here when I finish another drawingTHIS IS ON OPENCANVAS4.5.18
You got any questions.. just ask me.
opencanvas is the only program I've ever used since I started CGing about 4 years ago. I've tried SAI but it's hard for me to get used to.
If you want to see another picture's work process, just tell me which pic. I'll upload the wips tomorrow.
but alas I shall sleep now for I am tired and it is late.
Fin. image is here

excellent tutorial, I has been a great help.
I have only one question: where I can find the textures that you use to achieve that beautiful end result?

If you don't mind,could you tell me how you make the gradient colour in step 2,did you use some tools to make it?

uhm could you tell more about the overlay layers? you mention them alot and i think thats what really adds the "zing" to it
👍: 0 ⏩: 0
its so amazing! i love to see the process of things
How did you color for the flat colors? did you select?
How did you make a gradient? sorry for all the questions O.o
(I learned about you from the gaia blog thing, and it was very inspiring)

Awesome 0w0
Would you mind if i asked... you said you were 'using the eyedrop tool to make sure the colors are in sync' what did you mean by that?

I just wan to know 
Like in your finished art? 1 to 4 seems like brushes but the 5 seem unknow to me xD I`ve seen alot of artist using texture and it makes so much prettyer ;A; But I have no clue how xD

opencanvas FTW thank you so so much for posting this, im going to put it in my tutorials collection, as i really like your gradient effect on the dress and wings and i may try that out one day C: Thanks for sharing !

so your process is much like mine, sans the use of overlay textures... I had always wondered how you created that elegantly grunge style to your pieces... nice!
👍: 0 ⏩: 0
err I kinda just played around with them, I don't really use a set one

Beautiful job! I also like how you kept the tutorial easy and simple instead of elaborating too much and making the file large.
Also, the picture came out very pretty as well, I like it.

The way you use textures is just so...unique >w<
I love the gradient of base colours you used in this piece.
Could you possibly upload the work process of "Consume" >w👍: 0 ⏩: 0
when you say you smoothed the shading, do you use the smudge tool of sorts??? very beautiful coloring. I love progression posts like these, because the beginning steps help me notice things in the finished piece I would not have caught. For some reason, I'm in love with simple blocked out sketches like the first step.^_^

I use to love openCanvas like mad. And I heard SAI was a neater program, and I too, thought that SAi was a bit complicated.... until I got a tablet, openCanvas lags me (I paint with mouse) and I had to get use to SAI and I'm loving SAI >__<
Thank you for sharing your work in progress. :)

Mm yeah though I often use SAI for lineart and whatnot, I only use SAI for coloring chibis. My style is more painterly than anime, so OpenCanvas is easier to use on my account > w < SAI is very easy to use but I like the painterly feel of oC better keke <33
No prob dear!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I wish I had your painterly style. LOL. Anime style isn't that good as painterly IMO. >:

Ah, your process is very interesting, I've always wondered how people who use open canvas manage~! *doesn't get it*
I'm curious as to what happens to your lineart between three and four though.
One minute its obviously a pencil sketch and the next it looks 100% digital. xD

then, you`re gonna turn it into a pv along w/ whatever song that fits in that pic? & then upload it to youtube? I`ll be looking forward for it & dunno how to react if you have a nico 2x douga account.

haha that would be interesting xD we'll see!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
then she`s gonna include that as a pv along w/ a music that fits on the drawing & then upload it to youtube.

but that`s just my guess
