HOW I DO IT!- How do I do my pictures in 10 steps

1. Do lots of thumbnails for composition, posing, and sometimes coloring. I draw in PS or SAI, whatever I feel like atm.

2. Decide on what thumb is best, then enlarge it in PS.

3. Save and export to SAI, then draw on more details in a new layer.

4. (sometimes) Enlarge again to 2000 x 2000 px or more, then ink using the pen tool on SAI. this part takes me the longest.

5. Finish inking and export back to PS; color in flats using the flood tool and the brush tool for finer details. A lot of the time I have to adjust colors in this step too.

6. Back to SAI again for shading, I use the marker, water, and pen tools the most.

7. Back again to PS for final adjustments and special FX.

8. Flatten, resize, and sharpen.

9. I can't think of another step.

10. And stuff.



PROGRAMS I USE TO DO IT -Name as many programs as you can that you have used to make artwork in the past. In order, it should go most used to Least used.

1. Photoshop
2. Paint Tool SAI

HOW I WANT TO DO IT - Link to 5 images on Deviant Art that an artist or friend has done, and that you wish to ONE DAY accomplish that colouring style / anatomy / skill.













HOW I'VE HELPED PEOPLE DO IT - Link as many people as possible that you've helped / taught your ways with art work~! Be it tutorials / red lining / advice!

I CAN LIKE REDLINE STUFF IF PPL ASK. I really suck at written critiques, it's hard to get my thoughts across D: Also I wonder if anyone would in interested in a walkthrough of how I color stuff? I DUNNO.

HOW I USE TO DO THINGS - Link to some OLD pictures and compare them to some new pictures!
