Welcome to Gaia! ::

Okay, some explanation of the process!
All steps are numbered so you can follow them in here...although they were already very easy to follow lol, but anyway!

Step 1:
This was the very start of the sketching part.
I didn't know what to draw so I just let the hand do it's job.

Step 2:
Cleaned the drawing using Painter, because the brush setting is better (for me) for more clean lines than Photoshop. In this phase I noticed I made a mistake, but I didn't fix it.

Step 3:
Since white background kills my eyes, I tried with a dark gray one, which helps a lot lol.
The first thing I always start to color is the skin using always a base color.

Step 4:
Once the skin is fully colored and with it's shadows in place, it's time to start with the hair.
Normally I color the eyes along with the skin, but I just didn't this time lol.

Step 5:
Added shading to the hair and added some small details.

Oh! and colored the dress haha.

Step 6:
Once the skin, hair, dress and eyes colored, it's time to clean the whole mess.

Each part described above were colored in different layers. I mean, one for the skin, one for the hair and so on.


Well, in the last step I fixed somehow what was bothering me since the beginning, her left eye.

Added a cheap background and saved it.

Original size:
1478x1388

Here's the final piece!

Hmmm...tutorial...

I might do one just for this guild!

But I'm not good enough for that D=

Oh my, thank you!

Those words really flatter me redface

I will start working on a tutorial soon, just gotta think of a picture to use as the guide lol
