Sketch – This page is all about tenderness and infatuation — I wanted to capture that moment when the characters let themselves be swept away by passion in a romantic kiss.
Definitive Sketch – At first, I followed the same framing as the draft, but later — thanks to some helpful feedback — I decided to shift the tone slightly. I added a touch of euphoria and surprise, and reworked panels 1 and 2 to improve readability while keeping the camera orientation consistent.
Lineart – I don’t know how many of you have ever tried drawing a kiss between furry characters… but holy hell, it’s really hard! Hahaha
Flat Coloring – I always start flat coloring from the background, detailing only the parts that remain visible behind the characters. That way, I don’t waste time on areas that’ll be completely covered anyway.
Shadows and Highlights – This time I pushed the lighting a bit more: there are way more gradients (still rough, no blending tool!) and lots of extra highlights on their faces — they turned out way too cute.
If you have any questions about any of the steps, I'd be happy to answer them!
