Okay, so today I messed around with drawing Krista Glover. Here’s how it went down.
Getting Started
First, I grabbed my tablet and stylus. I use a pretty basic setup, nothing fancy. Then I opened up my go-to drawing app. You know, the one with all the brushes and layers. I always start with a blank canvas, it feels like a fresh start.
The Sketch
I started sketching, just trying to get the basic shapes down. I usually do a really rough sketch first, just to get a feel for the pose and proportions. It looked pretty messy at this point, like a bunch of scribbles, but it’s all part of the process, ya know?
- Drew a circle for the head.
- Added some lines for the body.
- Blocked in the basic features.
Refining the Lines
After the rough sketch, I lowered the opacity of that layer and created a new one on top. This is where I started to clean things up. I drew more defined lines, trying to make them smoother and more precise. This part always takes the longest, gotta get those lines just right!
Adding Details
With the clean lines in place, it was time for the fun part – details! I started with the facial features, then moved on to the hair and clothing.I also added some shadows to give it some depth, make her look more 3D. This is where it really starts to come to life, it is pretty rewarding.
Coloring
Once I was happy with the details, I added some color. I went for simple color,I always pick colors that I think look good together, nothing too crazy, and I just filled in the different areas. A little here, a little there.
I also try some more detailed coloring on the hair, face and the clothes.
Final Touches
Finally, I added a simple background. I added some details and looked over everything to make sure it all looked good. And that’s it! Another drawing done. It’s not perfect, but I had fun, and that’s what matters, right?
