Looks like someone is having fun with some wolf foot paws.

This is a toony style full detail YCH (Your-Character-Here) commission for Otto042 on Twitter who won a YCH auction I had on another site. I'll show you the process of what I did. Let's get started. :)

  • Fine Sketch

    Layers Used:
    Fine Sketch layer

    After getting the rough sketches for the characters, I go back over them with a finer sketch.

Then this was what was presented for the auction. (I just made a temporary layer underneath the fine sketch layer, color in with the same blue color as the sketches, then turn the layer's opacity to 50%.)

After a client was determined through the YCH auction, I edited the YCH placeholder character to edit in the details of the winner.

  • Lineart

    Layers Used:
    Foreground Folder -> Lineart layer

    After the fine sketch, I lineart over them.

  • Base Color

    Layers Used:
    Foreground Folder -> Base Color layer

    Then I use the contiguous "wizard" tool to select all areas outside of the characters' parameters, invert the selection, then fill in with a neutral color base.

  • Primary Color

    Layers Used:
    Foreground Folder -> Colors -> Primary Color layer

    I carefully draw in the primary colors of the characters making sure not to overlap colors where they shouldn't.

Then I mask the color folder down to the base color layer.

  • Detail Color

    Layers Used:
    Foreground Folder -> Color Folder -> Detail Folder -> (Folder's color layers)

    I add in the characters' other color details in their respective folders.

  • Background/Final Check/Final Result

    Layers Used:
    Canvas Background layer
    Background Shadows layer
    (Various layers)

    Here, I whiten the canvas background, and I add in a pattern and some shadow in the background folder. Finally, I check over the drawing for any missing details or stuff I need to change.

Then the drawing is complete!
