This is a step by step walkthrough showing how this little Starcraft 2 fanart piece came into existence. After taking a short summer break I want to get into frequently posting again. Thanks to everyone who is still here for sticking around!

Starcraft 2 came out more than 10 years ago and probably a lot of you will only vaguely remember it, but it was one if not the reason I started drawing so I hope you will forgive my nostalgic outdatedness.

Starting with a very rough sketch already, having the composition in mind in regards of lighting and focus, I then made a tight line drawing. I don't think you have to but I simply love drawing lines. In the following steps you see me tackling each light and shadow pass on a separate layer. This is especially great because you can come back later change them separately. You could even animate them if you like. I added the color layer afterwards and put it underneath the shadow passes. Finally I cleaned everything up and added some effects.
