Final product post

December's Patreon reward for DJGalaxE_256!

They were kind enough to let Patreon Leaf pick the character and the drawing!
So here we have Aurora, a Lucario OC (Owner: Leaf) who's the adopted daughter of Riley and Leafa (Both characters from Leaf)
She's a buff gal, and doesn't play around!

These were all the steps followed to create this pic:

1- Sketch: The very first sketch was very straight forward thanks to all the experience I've gathered drawing Riley! (Thanks a lot Leaf!) So it wasn't too much of a hassle to draw the pose and the overall body shape going!
2- Lineart: I add clear lines along with all the details
3- Flat colors: I fill the lines with flat colors following the design
4- Sweat effects: I add an extra layer on overlay getting a more sweaty look!
5- More sweat: After a small revision I added more sweat drops.
6- Gradients: Then I move in with dark and light gradients for each and one of the colors for better color depth
7- Shading: Then I add 3 layers that work as shadows and highlights
8- Lighting effects: Then I add some extra effects with some glow and light reflection + some extra line color!
9- Environmental shadows: And last but not least I add some extra shadow effects in the environment.
