Digital Art Creation Process
STEP 1
Sketching
An easy way to make a rough sketch is through thumbnail. Because I am doing it in a small size I could easily sketch the idea that I am putting into the illustration. Without minding the other details I am just doing the scene here where he is chasing an enemy into the woods. And so I continued the next process.
Then, I scale the thumbnail fit to my canvass and start to add readable shapes for the illustration.
Next thing I did, I try straighten up the character I am still in the learning stage here of how I like to make my piece looks at the end. Darken up its background to make the character pop.
I moved on the coloring stage after this.
STEP 2
Coloring Stage
Now I dive in to color. I add the base color of the surrounding and the character here, with only one layer on top set to multiply and if I want to lighten some parts I then add another layer set to overlay. This is how it looks after.
Here, I change the facial expression to a more dynamic approach as I read the lore that this guy is some madman. Full of anger because his family and tribe are all gone. They were attacked by the enemy.
I'm happy with the result and this time I want to render it now. I proceed to my next and final step.
STEP 3
Final Touch and Render
We are now at the end of the Stage/Process. To make it easy for me to color each subject, I separate the character to its background by using lasso tool on Photoshop.
I try to define the shapes and pop out the forms of the character here. For the background I darken it to fit the mood that this guy is into the dark woods but still give a strong cool light behind to pop the character and make it readable.
In this stage here, I increased the shadows in the character to match the scene of the background.
Also I made the character diagonal to give it a sense of movement.
Lastly, add the magical lazer pewpew. There are also incoming arrows as the running enemies wished to strike back. There I have it my final output.
That's it we're done!
Take the time to also watch its gif process from start to finish😁
