YCH - Process
Here you can see how I create my art!
1, Traditional pencil drawing on textured paper, using a soft colour pencil. I start by placing the large shapes of the character, then if the proportions are right I move on to filling in the details until everything is laid out and ready for inking!
2, Traditional ink, using my favourite fountain pen. I begin with the larger curves on the left and gradually work my way to the right and the smaller shapes. I add extra thickness to areas that would have stronger shadows. Once the ink is dry I scan my drawing at 300 or sometimes even 600 dpi.
3, Digital flat colours. Initially I cleared out the pencil lines from under the ink for a crisp line art, but here you can see I have experimented with leaving them in for extra texture and colour, I quite like how this looks! Let me know what you think in the comments or if you have experimented with similar techniques!
I use various layers, layer modes and clipping masks to make colouring easier and quicker.
4, Final render. I go back and forth between layers, fixing this and that, adding shadows and details, adjusting the lines etc.
No art is ever perfect and that is all right! We all would be still working on our first drawings if we haven't learned to put it down, accept it is imperfect and moved on to the next. There are always a few things that I wish I have done differently, but that is a lesson I have to take with me and put in practice when I create my next piece!
