Misato Fanart

I have been practicing with this kind of workflow style where it looks more like a painting and you can see even some strokes here and there. I personally enjoy this style a lot though I need to practice it more. I have been also drawing with other style that is using grayscale and it's more for works that needs to be way more clean like for videogames but I will talk about that in another post with a drawing I am making in that style and maybe compare the too styles later on.

The character I made a fanart of today is Misato Katsuragi from the well known anime Neon Genesis Evangelion, even if you are not too much into anime it's more probable that you have hear about Evangelion, it's a very great show after all and it have a lot of good characters. In the fan comunity they are always faighting about who is the best girl in the whole anime haha such discussion has turnned foverver and in MY opinion, I believe Misato is best girl. She is a badass major at NERF and also acts like the caretaker of Shinji and Asuka. I do like a lot her personality so I tried to recreated a part of it in this fanart (as you may see this is the censored version).

Tools and Process

I started directly painting and getting the overall form of the figure I wanted so there wasn't really a lineart, I were making it on the run to difine more the forms. The first stages are the most important ones so I only cared on what is important in that part: The form, shapes, where the light is coming, the general design, etc. It's in during this part where I am defining things that I start blocking in to make it looks right.

After all that I starting defining more all things, getting right the colors and rendering and paying more attention to the light zones.

I used Photoshop cs6 for this one (I use that software almost always)

Well this was all for today! if you want to see more of my work you can follow me on Twitter (I just started to post my stuff there so it's still a bit empty) I wish you a good day/night and see you in a next post!
