Color Practice in Paint Tool Sai

Hi guys, I was a little absent ... to tell the truth ... a long time, but I honestly did not know what to put in the blog, so I decided to practice the color in the Paint Tool Sai program. I'm not good at illustrating but I like to apply color to Linearts as in the case of this Image that you can download from this page: https://www.yampuff.com/linearts/chibis/
This page has many Linearts that you can download and paint.

The image with which he chose to work was: S'more Chibi (Linear elaborated by Vaniraa https://vaniraa.deviantart.com/)

Well, I will show you my coloring process, (they are many images, therefore, I will not place everything Dx)

º Step 1 Vectorize the Image:

º The good thing about this program is that when you vectorize an image it gives you the facility to make the curves and thin or thicken the strokes.

ºNow we proceed with the coloring of the drawing by sections :3, that means layers, many layers xD. We begin with the body; In this case I work everything in a single layer, first the intermediate color, then apply the lights and shadows with blur.

º We do the same with chocolate, cookies and masmallow, lights, leftovers and medium tone by applying blur.

º Once finished, we start with the hair, in which three layers will be used in this case; base layer; middle layer (contains 42% illumination) layer three (brightness and 48% shade).

º Finally we perform the eyes with 4 colors, playing with different shades of blue, violet and magenta; In addition, it is played with the illumination of the layers and applying blur to obtain this effect in the eyes.

º The final result with a nice salmon colored background and spiral texture :3

I hope you liked my coloring process as much as I did :3, soon I will upload more of my color practices, also if they want to recommend a character especially I am all eyes :3.

Bye <3
