silly little guy

aaaa that's so nice to hear, i'm so glad you enjoy my art<3

and yes! that's absolutely my favourite, even though i've read other danmeis i think nothing can compare to what erha made me feel:') such a beautiful story

since i was asked to do this, let's break down my usual process of doing lineart...

....if it could even be qualified as such cause i'm not used to doing lineart in the typical sense (where most of people usually think about it in terms of drawing cleaner lines on top of a sketch and only then adding base colours on a separate layer)

i'm gonna show you the whole process on a drawing i've made a couple of months ago

first, i make a sketch. it's almost always very messy and the final piece often ends up looking differently either way so i don't bother with adding many details

then, i go straight to putting base colours on a layer below my sketch. at this point i often struggle with finding the right saturation and brightness so i adjust them A LOT in the next steps

i add some shadows and work on the background a bit (i will make a separate tutorial about my background process!)

and probably my favourite part:') at this point i often merge all of the layers so that i won't mess anything up and start drawing on a wrong layer by mistake. here, i just add more shadows, lightning, i try to cover up the sketch with colours, and kind of "give shape" to my drawing, if you know what i mean. i also make the colours more saturated and bright

(i'm not really familiar with other drawing apps, but if you have procreate, it's also fun to play with the curves tool)

and finally!!! the lineart part!

i often erase the edges and try to make it look cleaner. then, still on the same layer, i pick colours that are a bit darker than those of the shadows and do the lines. i also add more details in this step

also later i adjust the colours even more and add more and more details (sometimes i draw over the lines with even darker tone if i feel like it would fit the general vibe of the drawing better) but that's pretty much it!

your dms are turned off but i wanted to say this, not really an ask

thank you so much!!!
