Okay, this is NOT really a tutorial, since I'll just show and won't really try to "teach" anything x_x.
I don't study art, I'm no expert, or anything, so it's just stuff I do based on my own experience. There are easier, and better ways to do this, but again, this is just how I, personally, do it. :3 Starting, obviously from left to right, in order of progress (no need to tell you that...), a few notes: - I used prismacolor colored pencils, black fineliner (0.3mm), and bic ballpoint pen. Also, I don't really use the black prismacolor pencil a lot, I prefer ink instead. 1º- Basic pencil sketch, note I didn't work on the proper 'anatomy' here, since they're chibi, animu drawings, so I started right away doodling the outfits, along with a quick scheme of the background, and the frame. I do work on anatomy using the basic circles+lines+everything that everyone uses. 2º to 5º - Not much to say here, I like thick lines, as you can see there. Stronger lines outside, thinner lines for details, you all know that. But yes, I love thick lines, strong lines because my hand pulse sucks. 6º - Background is inked, and most of the black areas are filled in too. And added a very slight shading. I inked all the black areas except for the buildings in the back (mosty because I'm lazy). 7º - Started with the background first (which is rare from me), adding a simple, plain layer of purple, I used circles to fill everything here, straight lines are too easy to "see". 8º - Added black (pencil), very roughly and quickly on the buildings, and more circle-patterns in the lower half of the bg. Made some parts of the sky darker too, using the same purple pencil. Also, added cream-yellow to the streetlamp and the building windows. 9º - Ballpoint kicks in. Added circle-patterns on the sky using the ballpoint, very slightly, and then "smudged" it using the sky purple. Then repeat. Mostly on the areas near the edges. In the lower half, I "blurred" the black circles using more purple and a light grey, strongly, yes, strongly on the paper. And then, like I did on the sky, ballpoint pen circles + smugding/blurring, and then more circles on top of that. Also, made the buildings darker, fixed the edges of them and the windows. 10º - Started coloring Aria. Left part of her hair, is pure dark purple + black ballpoint pen. Right side, has less purple and less ballpoint, and added some cream yellow (same as the streetlamp). And added a slight base shading on her, purple for her coat (the same purple I've used for the whole drawing), jade-green for eyes, scarf, etc. 11º - Almost done with Aria. I mixed colors here. For the white coat, I shaded it adding jade-green here and there on top of the light purple. (and a LITTLE ballpoint-smudging). And used purple on top of jade-green areas for shading. More ballpoint-smudging. And also I started colouring Cerise, adding her "base" colors, orangeish-red mostly. Used the same purple to shade white areas. 12º - Finished Cerise. Again, I shaded pretty much everything with purple, and used yellow-cream on the high-lights. I added ballpoint-smudging pretty much everywhere, and touched up with some quick lines as more shading. And the final details, just random white-spots of white-ink here and there, for "shiny" effects, mostly on eyes, cheeks, boots. The end D: --- Anyway, I hope this wasn't a pain to read, and, maybe it won't be really useful to most of you xD but some people kept asking for a tutorial for a while.. and I suck at them so this is what I did. Remember, ballpoints might be cheap, but they're awesome : D  bye bye. |
