Digital Art Creation Process

STEP 1
Sketching and Grayscale

I started with this rough pose that I want to make. I am doing it in a small size so that I could easily sketch the idea that I am putting into the illustration.

Then, I scale the rough sketch fit to my canvass.

Next thing I did, is lower again the opacity of that rough sketch I made and add another layer on top. Start to make the lines more cleaner this time.

After doing my lines I did a grayscale below the layer of the line art. Defining the shadow and light areas of the face of Aquatus.

I was so happy with how it looks and I proceed to the next step.

STEP 2
Coloring Stage

Alright! I have the grayscale already, now I dive into color. I add the base color in multiply mode layer. For lightening it up I add another layer set to overlay mode.

I'm happy with the result and this time I want to render it now. I proceed to my next and final step.

STEP 3
Final Touch and Render

We are now at the end of the Stage/Process. I clean up the part with lines. As I go add the details of each parts of the illustration.

I try to define the shapes and pop out the forms a bit.

In this stage here I was playing with the color balance to have it a saturated look. Still added lights on lightg areas and the things that it bounces to the face. I'm happy with the result I also tweak the head to make it more round.

Finally, increase the brightness for readability and add some finishing or small details.

That's it we're done!
Take the time to also watch its gif process from start to finish😁

You made it to the end of this post. I really appreciate your time and attention. Keep up the good work and have fun! Until next art illustration stay tuned😁

Thank you very much!
