This is NOT a tutorial, it's just to give you an idea of my work process, since many of you have asked. But anyways, I'll briefly explain my drawing rituals.

Also, I am not answering questions, sorry!
( XD because I gotta get off the computer, lol)




[Tools]
- Abobe Photoshop 7.0
- Wacom Graphire 3

[Time]
- quick sketch
- 1.5 hour lineart
- 3.5 hour colouring

[Process]
Step1: ...I seriously jump from something this scrappy to Step 2. I only draw out the basic idea once, and yes, it ALWAYS looks this messy.

Step2: I use a 5px regular brush to lineart. The canvas size I work on is HUGE (over 3000x3000 px) so that's why the lines come out very nice and thin.

Step3: Use whatever ways I muse to fill in the base colours, a separate layer for each colour.

Step4: Now I start brushing in the shadow and highlights and add in stuff like patterns. The dodge tool is your best friend.

Step5: Finishing touches, and effects are put in. I change the colours a bit to suit my needs, and I blur out Naruto's stupid head x3 and that ends my 5 hour journey.





And in the end, no one learns nothing XD lmao.
