Practicing Colors and Layers Again

almost 3 years ago

The objective of this piece wasn't to go on full creation mode. I wanted to sketch to color as fast as possible just to gauge what I got going. You would notice some minor or gross mistakes on the output. Part of it is just me finishing as quickly as possible and the other part is not having the idea to fix it.

The lips needs work, some better shading and highlighting plans, and maybe work hair style choices.

I'm seeing some subjective improvement on my workflow now that I can maneuver the layers but not so much as the coloring. I think I'll be going back to black and white just to improve my use of values and volume next time.

So far Paint Tool SAI does the job well. One thing I find lacking right now is the limited set of brushes to use when I want those fine painterly details but I'm in no rush to use them as I still got to work on the fundamentals.

I think like me you need to do a bit more work on ray tracing.

But don't feel bad, it's a tough one :)

I never could get lips to work with the more cartoony/anime style, did try, went back to just using lines ^_^;

Thanks, going to take a break with the colors and try the black and whites for a while. I think bulk of the problem is just not using right values and volume.

I think you also need to pick a shading style and run with it at least for now. The lips look very textured, the skin looks cel shaded and the hair and clothes look hybrid, all looks okay individually, I’m slightly confused overall.

Not that that’s hard by any stretch 😅
