Process GIF (Vector and Big Picture)

Added 2017-05-10 17:39:58 +0000 UTC

Here's a little GIF I put together to show off my process:

First I make several sketches

The first sketch is to visualize how it will look
The second sketch is for fixing any anatomical or perspective issues
The third sketch is for polishing the second and fix any errors I missed

Then I do the lineart for each character individually. Since I get impatient to see such slow progress (lineart takes a lot of time) I often color in whatever I can color in or color it before I start working on the next character (which I super dont recommend but that's how I do it), then I do the next one and lastly I do whatever part connects both characters

For shading and lighting, I do two "sketches", where I pick an appropiate color and draw over the picture where the shadows/lights should be. Then I use that as reference for the proper shading. (I also remove the color from the picture so I can visualize the shadows properly.)

Then I adjust the shadows and lights layers with the proper opacity so that it will make the picture look good, and then I add a background!

And that's pretty much it! It's a pretty basic and simple process, but it's the process I follow. It's also very flawed and not very efficient specially since I technically do several things at least twice but you know.
