omg! thank you for answering the previous question about your sketches. to add on to that, how would your next step even look like? coming from a rough sketch to something quite detailed?
honestly if you have a time lapse to share, thatd be great.
thank you for your artwork!!! THEYRE AMAZING.
Here's a time lapse of one of my Roddy images:
I'm gonna explain it a bit here so you know which steps do what:
Sketch: just a quick reference, nothing too fancy.
Lineart: create the lineart. I like to use a good mix of thin/bold lines.
Base: select background > invert > fill to a layer below your lines. This is just a base, you can choose whichever color you want, doesn't matter since all the top layers will just clip through.
Flats w/ gradient: color your flats, choose 'clipping group' so they clip to your base. With this I also like to use different gradients per color(reds with orange/yellow with purple/etc), so play around and see what works!
Shadows: as my previous tutorial, I use a light purple and light tan color > set layer to multiply, create your shadows. I also like to use a light blue color for extra shading.
Background: create your background, pretty self explanatory.
Color Lines: color your lines depending on the flats, I play around with shades usually.
BG Atmosphere: I added the sand effects so the cape would 'disappear' into the background.
Hard highlights: I wanted hard sunlight to hit the subject, so I used yellow and blue(mainly white) and set it to 'luminosity', and went ham. I usually used a textured brush when drawing it.
Front effects: added the dust in the front and other atmosphere effects.
PS Edits: the usual color balance/levels/blur/sharpen/channels.
Last Lighting: added biolights, eyes, and last armor lighting.
That's pretty much the usual process to most my images, so hopefully this paints a better picture :D
