Wow, unexpectedly this was featured on twitter haha, thank you Deviantart!

I've always enjoyed looking at process shots and tutorials and since I had process shots for this one, I thought why not make my own~ c:

----------------------------

1) Rough sketch
I had an idea lol and it looks super messy. This is the point where my drawing is most flexible, I change so many things around and this sketch is actually the second version. I'm still surprised I managed to somehow separate the hair later on

2) Rough colours
I layed down the colours and mood I wanted to go for, I'm still pretty new with the colour sketch before lining thing so idk how well it worked out for me but I'm pretty content with the outcome.

3) Lineart
As always - haha this is where I try to make things perfect, or as best as I can get it- it ends up being the most time consuming phase because after this there's no turning back for me. I won't go back to change things because I have a really low art stamina rn and I can easily be discouraged from continuing lol.

I also really want to mention this amazingly wonderful tutorial here that helped me out A LOT, in case there are any SAI users who don't know this circle trick yet. Without it my clock would never look like a clock and I would have never realized how much I have been needlessly suffering ;v;

4) Base colours
Pretty straight forward.

5) Bg + Gradient
At this point I usually jump back and forth between steps 5 and 6 for each different layer. For example, gradate the hair then shade, go back gradate skin then shade.
But it looks really weird like this with only gradient lol.

6) Shade
I apply the shading! I tried a lot of new things in this picture mostly in the hair and I like it c:

7) Detail + Edit
And lastly I added small bubble to make it look like she was actually in water ;v; Didn't turn out like I wanted to in the end but I tried ^^ Fixed up some colours and after that I went on photoshop to edit it a little more but that's basically it.

----------------------------

This is how I usually do things c: Hope you enjoyed , thanks for reading!
