+12 AP for Seven
+10 CS, +2 FVR

aka a reminder that Seven has a lightning scar from Chapter... 2?... that I've never drawn.

Sketch: 95% of the time I do this traditionally. And 95% of the time my proportions are way off. Thank god for being able to resize/move things in Photoshop without having to erase. (and it solves the problem of always drawing left facing characters)
Lines: Smallish, but not too small, clean lines with tapered ends.
Color: I color everything on one layer because I like to frustrate myself.
Shading: I just duplicate the color layer, color it all one really dark color (usually blueish), set to multiply, lower opacity, and erase way. Who knows about light sources. Fake it till you make it.
Finished: Add shiny bits like in the eyes and on the horn. If I'm not too lazy I will color the lines, but only the inside lines because I'm always a little lazy by this point, and just trying to finish. Also, I feel like the black outline helps to keep it from fading into the background.
