Good day everybody! I have here today my first male OC which I made using IbisPaint X.
I usually draw female characters because it is hard for me to draw males. I am having a hard time recognizing how big or what kind of proportion I should make. Since it is my first time and I don't want to rely on a reference, I tried really hard imagining and recognizing what's wrong with my drawing. It took me 10 hours to finish this illustration.
Here are some pictures of my process
Sketch
It took me hours to finish this sketch because I made a lot of resizing on the characters body
Lineart
I usually don't put that much details to the sketch because it would get really tiring so details are done in my lineart
Base Color
I wanted my work in black and white so I used different shades of black
Eyes, Body and Towel Shading
More Shading and Effects Added
More shading was applied and I put some water droplets to the hair to gave it a wet look
Background for the Final Touch
For the background I used style filter called 'Drop Shadow' and did some adjusting
If you wanna watch how I struggled to draw this you can watch it here!
and
Have a nice day~
