Greetings Steemians, with this post, I'll share with you the third member of our intrepid band of adventurers, Toto Blacksquirrel! To begin this character, I start up Autodesk Sketchbook and begin to lay out the basic form. After making a few minor adjustments, I begin to sketch in the details, such as clothing and facial expression. Now that the sketch is finished, I add a new layer in Sketchbook, and begin the pencils! With this character, I decided to try something new and add some shading in the pencil stage, the digital pencil tool provided the same effect that you would attain in traditional drawing. I was very happy with the character at this point, and eager to begin the colors! From here, I add another layer, set it to "Multiply", which lets you add color without masking the pencils, and begin the base coat. Whenever I get "in the zone", I have to remind myself to stop and save the image periodically :) With the colors cleaned up, I added a layer behind the image and made a backdrop to complete the image! I hope you like it, I had a lot of fun with this character. Until next time, Keep Steemin!!
