hiii I'm really curious about your art process?

How do you typically go from a sketch to a final piece?

When it comes to colors, how do you usually pick them?

Do you tend to use references, mood boards, or draw more from imagination? And do you often incorporate effects?

Are you someone who draws with music, or without?

Also, I'd love to hear how you developed your art style and who some of your biggest influences are

hello!! hmmmm i kind of have two different processes that i use for different things. this first one is my typical sketch -> lines -> colours -> adjustments and is what i do for most pieces!

first pic: the rough sketch, this one having several different layers for different parts so i can erase and resize things without disturbing the rest. i usually do a gestural sketch and then a cleaner sketch on top of that bc i find having a clean sketch makes lines faster and easier

second: lines and colour! my fav part ❤️ i do all of my line art in red with the layer mode on linear burn. if i need to change the line colours later i can colour on top of it with a clipping mask like you can see i did for the hair here. all of the individual layers are separated by colour or part (everything red is on one layer, hair and jacket are their own layer, etc) and then clipped to a base colour and transparency locked. from there i'll render them all individually

third pic: final colour adjustments! i love adjustment layers and gradient maps 😭 here i've flattened the above picture, liquified the bottom part, added the colour adjustments, and then on layers not pictured added the type in the background.

and then this second process here is what i use for more painterly pieces (usually realism but not always) and it's basically using my sketch layer as line art and painting beneath it and then on top of it. this one used more layers than i normally do for this and i thankfully hadn't already flattened it so you can see the general idea!

for picking colours: hmmmm a lot of experimentation LOL the colours i start with are absolutely never anything like how they end up 😭 i like to do a lot of underlighting colouring (where you shade with a lighter sometimes more saturated colour as opposed to darker) and warm/cool contrasts. you can see in the helly piece up there ↑ there's a transition from warmer colours down to the cool blues and greens below but still with some accents of pink in helly and similar colours from the wall in her hair for unity

for references: i do use them! if there's something anatomical i want to get right then for sure i look for references, and while drawing hands i frequently look at my own. i also like moodboards, and have tons of pinterest boards that help a lot for inspiration when i kind of have an idea but also kind of don't LMAO. i do also draw from imagination! particularly with ocs i think. and for effects: yeah a lot! i like to find stock photos and put them on different blending modes and then just keep messing with them with liquify and the like. i've used things like photos of apartment buildings with grids of window lights as well as cells under microscope to add texture or colour or light!

i always draw with music! i tend to listen to songs on repeat and can end up doing that for hours. i usually associate pieces with the song or songs i was listening to while drawing and then will use lyrics as a caption

i'm not really sure how i developed my style! it's kind of just a combination of things that i find fun to draw or think look nice elsewhere. i like to do my line art with really high pressure sensitivity so that i get strong variation in line width really easily bc it feels comfortable and is fun to do, and things like that kind of build to become someone's style. clamp is absolutely one of my biggest inspirations and they were extremely formative for me! redrawing panels from tsubasa was pretty much how i started drawing. yoshitaka amano is also a huge influence, and i really love edvard munch and expressionism!

ANYWAY this is pretty long but hopefully was helpful somehow 😭 thank you for the ask!
