WHAT

DO MY EYES DECIVE ME???? THIS IS AMAZING

IM SO HAPPPPPY!!!! THIS MADE MY WHOLE WEEK

@dekusleftsock

and this time you get a buncha words with it

so first, I drew a quick little thumbnail (this is a great exercise just to practice and stuff) and then I full sized it!!

Then, I blocked out two different color schemes, originally I was going to have this whole deep meaning behind it. Something about her first her suit representing vulnerability and foolishness or whatever but then I was like

“no, I wanna draw my girl with a visor for fun”

so I just did that

rough sketch (that’s all I have to say)

lines look I wish I had an explanation for this.

I literally sat down for like four hours straight and it was mostly just this, basically just a lot of mark making, slight erasing and then flipping the canvas (LIFESAVER) but I eventually ended up with something I liked. I wish I was kidding about the four hours thing im so hungry

flats + effects + gradient maps + grayscale + finishing touches

your girl (gender neutral) went all out for this one, pulled out a YouTube tutorial I saw two years ago. All for her 💞🪐

The visor highlight is my favorite!!
