Childe Fan Art!

On the sketch, I was kind of having a hard time picking his facial expression and I also did try to make his delusion clothes but I don't want to bother myself so I just made his clothes' 'inspired'. Not all the details are here and you can see that the hands only have lines. I usually do those to visualize and it is also my guide so I can easily draw hands in that certain position.

I used 'For effect line' pen for the line art for different line weight. I usually used black or maroon color but this time I used browning color. I also separated the character and tray from the bowl line art so I can focus easily when I color the food later.

Here is the character's base color in which I used pale colors from the pale pallet. Nothing much here, I used bucket tool to fill all the paces and used pen to fill in the little gaps. Each base colors are most likely separated layers.

For the details, I used 'multiply' layer effect for the shading and I also used clipping tool. I also used "soft' airbrush tool for the blushes in the cheeks and the finger tips.

Here, I also put the additional details of the clothing. I put the wavy things on his bow tie from his scarf. Also the wavy things on his clothes and some of the steel thingy. Welp, I did forgot to put shade on the clothes. As for his apron, I first used an airbrush and shaded it downwards starting from dark to light. Then I used 'finger tip' to mess it a little and create a texture. Then used some spray dots for the white spots.

First off, I colored the tray light gray then put dark lines and blurred it a little. Then, I proceeded to put details into the bowl. I also used pale colors for some of the details of the soup. I also avoided to use line art so it would look seem more natural.

On to my favorite part where I really took my time, is the food details. I did not use layer effects here but I used different shades of red. It's cool because it feels like I'm doing pixel art since I zoomed too much for the details. For the glossy parts I used white and bright yellow for shiny effects. I also used blur tool to make it smoother. The tentacles were really fun since I was first using color almost the same from the base and it's like I'm blindly trusting that it would look okay later. For the soup, I also used white and yellow for the flows.
