Description
Here is a bit of a glimpse of the process for my latest piece:I just started out with a figure sketch, refined it, and then added it to some loose thumbnail sketches of the scene I wanted. Once I got everything looking the way I wanted in the sketch, I went on to do clean lines, and paint over everything with proper value and colors.

Sweet stuff, dude - really cool to see the process. The background is so convincing, I didn't even consider it starting as grayscale.
And the pose + angle is nicely done.

Thanks man!
That's generally how I do my thumbnail sketches, I just focus on value and shapes, even though they get tweaked a bit by the final. I aught to put together a full process tutorial, because this doesn't go into how I put the final details together. I'd also like to include the references I use for a picture, because I use a lot.

Ah yeah - that would be really interesting to see.

Ha, it seems this is going to be used for practice on most art books beginning now. I think i will try too, so, thanks RDude!
Warning Perv sentence ahead: Probably all because that hypnotic butt Β

Unfortunately, I didn't grab shots of my coloring process. I'll have to do a more in depth tutorial for my process later.
Glad you like it, though, I hope it helps at least a little!

Sure, it will
The coloring process would be awesome! i'm specially bad there and could use a lot of tips.
I'll be paying attention for if you do it Β

Awww, so according to #6 she is wearing panties. I was about to envy to that man on the cart for having such an epic sight. (With panties it is still good, but to a much lesser degree).Β

Hehe, not likely for her to be rolling around without wearing some sort of undergarment, what with a skirt that short.

Ah, smart, careful, cautious girl! Well, she must be rewarded!

Now why'd you have to go and ruin it by putting clothes on her?

Awesome! Hope its useful.

It will be, and again, thanks!

It is so cool to see the process, thanks for sharing this. But it did make me pine for watching you stream your work and goofing around with LD, LVL and Gamma.

Yeah, ugh, I gotta get back to streaming! I will soon. I was too busy the last month, and I have been sick the last few weeks, so I have no voice! Also been working on commissions too frequently, but I am hoping to pull some balance back onto my life so I can stream more personal work.

Not complaining sir. Just remembering the fun times. I'm just happy to see you get some of your personal stuff out there as well as your commission work. Especially if the personal work is this lovely elf.

Yes indeed! It's probably obvious, but she's my new favorite. XD

A natural 20 for her catching the pixie, and one for the rider catching a peek!

Very nice. Thanks for sharing the in-process sketches. Love seeing those

No problem! I wish I had recorded more in process snap shots... I'll have to consider that next time.

Looks great!

Thank you!
Actually, I do a very loose greyscale sketch, for placement and composition, then I do the final lines over the sketch on a new layer. Once I have translated my sketch into a clean drawing, I then start creating separate flat color layers for the characters (skin, hair, outfit-green, outfit-blue, etc).for the background, I sometimes take the greyscale sketch and color over it with an overlay layer, and then combine it so I just have a single solid colored layer for the background, and then I just refine it from there. To finish the character, I shade and refine each color layer, keeping the layer locked so I don't have to worry about coloring outside the lines. At the end, sometimes I add special effects if needed, and refine the overall image. I also occasionally color the lines.
But to answer your question, no, for coloring the character, I usually just slap down the colors I want at a darker tone, and just add highlights as I render each color layer. I can then just adjust the value, hue, and saturation with the slider tools, to make sure it all looks good.
hope that helps!

Is that the washing instructions tag sticking out the top of her thong in panel 6?
