Ah thank you so much that’s so sweet of you to say! DaiYi_Art is an extremely talented artist with a detailed realistic style that you should definitely check out! My style isn’t as detailed as theirs as I prefer minimalism in my shape choices but still a great inspo

In terms of my art process it’s important i have tons of references usually either taken by myself or I find modelling photoshoots/fashion shoots

My sketch actually can take me awhile since it’s the basis of my rendering, after cleaning it up I fill in on a separate layer behind the sketch a base color usually grey to render on.

I also almost exclusively only render/color using a darkish grey as the background because it allows me to see color better

I work in greyscale and color but for majority of my pinups it’s usually greyscale first, I block out shapes with darkest and lightest first and then put the mid tones really messy

I use a basic blending tool afterwards and smooth everything out and I use the lasso tool a lot to block out sharp edges

For coloring in greyscale I use a multiply layer to put down base colors and undertones/blush etc, then i’ll use other overlay layers to brighten the colors and then I usually make some gradient maps to overlay on top to make everything cohesive!

In a lot of my art there is a greenish/blue hue in dark areas and just as a style thing I make that color more vibrant as it makes the art pop against warm colors

That was a lot but hopefully that helps! let me know if you have any other questions
