Wow! This is amazing! Chronia's weapon, her outfit, and Chronia's herself, the way you drew her, makes her look like she belongs in a Fantasy world of some sort, fantasies like Final Fantasy 4!

...for some reason, she kinda looks pregnant to me... maybe it's the angle, or where the rig cage is positioned?
Anywho, this is REALLY amazing! Your art is absolutely gorgeous!

Maybe I messed up the rib cage, I'll have to look at references again
Thanks by the way, really appreciate it!

This has an incredible heavenly feel to it.Β I looked at the speed paint, I noticed you start off with the background.Β Interesting technique to keep the entire color scheme uniform.Β I usually color my forefront characters first; might be a mistake becuase then they sometimes don't match the background in their tone.Β I didn't see how you did your lineart though, it went too fast
π: 0 β©: 1
I always try to color the background first even though I really want to start with the character
About the lineart, if my sketch is clean enough, I would refine it (using brush/eraser) directly on the same layer and that'd be my final lineart... which is actually never 100% clean because it'd take too much time!. (I think I didn't include the refining part in my video, since it was going too fast)
Else, if my sketch is still too messy, I'd usually reduce its opacity, create a new layer and then I try to make a cleaner sketch over it. (I'll repeat that as often as necessary, until I have a sketch that is clean enough so that I can refine it to be my final lineart)
On a side note though, I never make my entire lineart on a single layer. I almost always separate the character's head, face, hair, arms, body and clothes. It makes it easier to fix in case of a mistake.
If I missed anything, feel free to tell me

Thanks for getting back to me ^__^Β Hmm, so you actually trace over the lineart with the mouse?Β Using a brush?Β Do you use a mouse or a stylus on a tablet?Β I noticed you transformed various parts of the image as you went along, making them bigger, smaller, etc.Β Very nifty trick ^_^Β I suppose it makes sense to make severval lineart layers for that.Β And do you then merge the lineart into one layer?Β You would, wouldn't you?Β And only then move onto the coloring.Β Which looked so awesome and easy the way you did it in the video!Β I guess you use lesser opacity for the brush right?Β And you add the lighting and shading pretty early on.Β It was most useful, the video.Β Thanks for making it.Β And do let me know if I've figured any of the above correctlyΒ ^_^Β It would be awesome to learn to draw like that.Β

Oh I use a tablet (Wacom Intuos 3).. It would be unthinkable to draw with a mouse! (Well, itβs possible, but the time it wouldβve taken.. phew!) And yes I use the brush tool.

I think that depends. For me, I will leave my lineart layers intact until the very end. Because when I start coloring the character, Iβd notice new problems in the anatomy that I never saw before. So it kind of is convenient to keep the lineart layers intact and being able to fix the problem easily.
When do I merge the lineart into one layers? Usually when Iβm done coloring/shading the character. But it also depends on your style, so thereβs not really an answer for that (Sometimes I do merge it sooner)
In photoshop, you can change the opacity or flow of your brush. I always leave the opacity at 100%. Itβs the flow that I usually keep at 33% when coloring.

Hopefully I didnβt miss anything
. Iβm actually working (very very slowly) on a tutorial that answers these kind of question in details. (And itβs more easy to understand with pictures and whatnot) But yeah... It might take a while since Iβve barely done anything yet..!π: 0 β©: 1
Wow, awesome answer!Β Thanks for taking the time.Β The process is starting to look more and more doable and less "magical" now
