Just a simple process gif of my first drawing of Buck and Radhi

All done in FireAlpaca

1.) Sketch: Done with basic marker brush. Kept Radhi's sketch kinda loose so I could fiddle around with her hairstyle/stripes/proportions. I was still kinda making her up as I was working on this (Fun fact: in my first draft of her character, she was a cow....then an antelope....then finally, a zebra)

2.) Lineart. Done with the same marker brush. Smooth lineart takes lots of practice and a steady hand. I turn my line correction on only for long brush strokes, otherwise I find it makes my lines look too stiff and inorganic

3.) Base colors. Added on a layer below the lineart, via magic wand tool and Fill function. I then use the pen brush to fill in all the nooks and crannies the magic wand misses. Radhi is mad naked at this stage and looks weeeeeird without her stripes

4.) Time for details. Painted in Radhi's stripes, the streaks of color in Buck's mane, his under-eye bags, the details in their irises, and designed their cutie marks.

5.) I don't often color my lineart, but I like the Disney aesthetic it gives. I do this by clipping a few layers above my lineart layer and coloring sections of lines separately. You can also do this by locking the pixels of your lineart layer and coloring on the same layer, but I personally find that using clipping masks is neater and easier to control.

6.) Last call for details. Added shine on their eyes and on Radhi's bracelets, added Buck's blush and floaty love hearts. Haha what a sappy doofus. Radhi might just find him charming or something

finished piece:
