As you guys know, I always draw in a chibi style, but sometimes, I get tired of drawing over and over a style. It would be nice to go out of the chibi style sometimes, hehe!
I want to explore more art styles. What I want to master is the anime style! Probably because I watch a lot of anime, :D. If I have time, I always watch tutorials on YouTube. Mostly, I only watch Shorts. I want a quick and effective tutorial rather than those long ones. I was thinking also to buy an art class but MEH. My poor ass is so cheap that I find ways to look for tutorials online instead. 🤣
So what I am going to share in this blog is my chibi Haze in an anime style. I am not even sure what style is this called, lol- so I just stick to saying anime style.
By the way, Haze is up for grabs in NFT Showroom!
Haze has cursed eyes that she can see unpleasant occurrences that can happen in the future. But these visions are unclear, thus derives confusion. She has the ability to inflict pain or put a curse on anyone by just staring at them. Her power can only be activated when she has negative feelings, most likely when she is angry or in a rage.
I put the picture of Haze as my reference on the top right. I first make a sketch of what pose should I go for. I searched poses from Google and Pinterest, ALWAYS! I just type what poses I like and tadaa~ Drawing is easier! I prefer those above bust poses with no complicated hand gestures.
I am not still good at drawing hands because, for me, hands are so organic and complicated. Doncha worry, we will get there~
I positioned the three floating eyes. I was actually thinking if I should fgo with four eyes, but in the end, three is better. Also, to stick with the original chibi.
On the next picture, I already chose a color for the background this time. I chose a neutral gray color. To make life easy, I just copy-pasted a one eyeball. Also, to make them uniform.
I also did the line art here. I am still looking for a good pen or brush. Usually, I customize them to fit my taste. I go for the flat brush most of the time.
For the colors, I just used the color-pick tool to copy the colors for the original art. I used the lasso tool to fill in the color to save time. If there are spaces uncolored, I used the flat brush to fill them in. I added more hair strand to make it more interesting.
The eyes are the most detailed in this process. For the eyes, I chose an off-white for the sclera, red for the iris, and black for the pupil. To make them symmetrical, I just copy-pasted one eye.
For the background swirls, I downloaded a border brush from Clip Studio Asset. I always go for the free stuff because some of the pens require clip coins.
On the other hand, I added swirls on the face, clothing, and body. I honestly put randomly on the original art, and now I cannot copy them exactly 🤣 So I just did my best to copy them accurately. I used a wet brush for the black tears. I also added the red glow on the back hair.
This is the part where I added the shadows on the skin. I used a flat brush and blender to make the skin 3D-ish. I put darker shadows on the deeper corners. I did the same with the clothing and the hair, although it is not that noticeable. I put clip a layer to the swirls and airbrushed a red glow. To make a dark mood, I add another layer on top of everything and colored it black. I put it on multiply and lowered the opacity to 50%.
Here is like a roller paintbrush, and then the color of the paint is based on my character Jijisaur. Noticed that I deliberately put my name "Jiji". 🤣
I am happy with the outcome! Took me days to think of a logo!
