Description a lot of you guys have asked how i paint and since i rarely show the initial sketches i thought to put this up. The process i use is still quite similar to this muju.deviantart.com/art/Samus-… and i always start from a lineart sketch, i can start from flat colours but its easier for me to read the piece if i start from lineart.


usually if something is going to be painted up, my lineart is really really messy like here. I find if i can work a lot looser it helps a lot when i start painting. I don't actually do like black and white values first cause i'm lazy but i would recommend it cause if you get your values right colours are real easy after that. 


After i'm okay with the sketch then its the flat colours and then i merge layers. Generally i leave the background on a separate layer but sometimes i get confused and lazy and accidentally merge it. When i have better internet i'll do a livestream again so you can better see what i mean.

Oh I love sketches! It's one of my favourite kinds of art. I often prefer initial sketches to the finished product, which might sounds weird, but they give me a sense of freedom and lightness of spirit which I like.

try overlaying colours on a new layer set to soft light. Overlay works as well but the colours go a bit off. I use soft light to blend and multiply to go darker then i merge everything and paint direct and make new overlays when its needed

also if you're doing values before you put colours try not to use pure black or white if you are going to overlay colours over hope this helps
