Rough sketches - Character design, poses and box
- with the design tied down, more exploratory and detailed work is better informed. \/
Initial simple anatomical build and structure.
Line of action in poses
Full flat rendered turnaround
Final illustration: Initial Sketch -> Cleaned sketch -> Rendered ink
Final full colored rendered illustration
Some layer setups:
- Process goes Initial sketch - cleaning the sketch - doing the ink - base colors - color render
- Ink is done on separate layers, so it's easier to erase overlapping lines.
- Everything is grouped, so as to not get lost.
- Color render is done with a base color, a slight blend applied to the base layer (using the alpha lock). Afterwards, hard shade is applied using a multiply layer so it changes with the blend on the base layer. Light is added using a Hard Light layer. A low opacity general shade is applied for a little extra spice.
- Entire figure drawing is grouped so it can be easily moved and readjusted at the end.
- Background was done using the Gradient tool.
All work done in the latest version of Clip Studio Paint EX, using the default pens and brushes with minor settings adjustments.
