Some key points from the video about my process

1. I use the warp/distortion tool to fix things frequently.

It saves me time and saves me the pain of having to redraw something because it was too long/short or too wide/thin.

2. No line art!

There’s a few exceptions, but most of the drawings you’ll see on my blog are just the refined sketch of that drawing. I typically avoid line art because I don’t like spending too much time on one drawing, I like being quick with my art, the drawing in the video took me around ~55 min. Even if that isn’t really fast, it is much faster than if I had decided to do line art. I also like the look so there’s that.

3. I experiment with colors and shading

It is very unlikely that I get my colors right on the first try, so there’s a few instances (like Tsuyu’s hair) in the video where I I try something, realize I don’t like it, and try again. Same with the shading, I’ll try out different colors and blending modes for shading. I like to see what works!

4. Final clean up process (not seen)

I may have forgotten to record this step, but this one is easy to explain. Basically, I just step away from the drawing for a minute and then come back to try to spot any mistakes I’ve made. For example, I noticed that, after finishing the recording, Tsu’s hair was not fully recolored with her new hair. I fixed that after.
