Winter Chase Process

How I digital art:
1.  Initial sketch.  Done in Photoshop with my favorite faux pencil brush.  




2.  Inking, inking, inking.  I use Clip Studio Paint for my inking.  It has a line stabilizer, so you have cleaner lines.  It's also fairly compatible with Photoshop, so you get transparency behind lines. 

3. After I ink, I take things back into Photoshop and use the warp tool to push and pull areas that feel too squished. 


4.  Colors and texture.  Pretty simple.  Background texture, then a hard edged brush and the selection tool to divide up areas.  Each color on a separate layer, another texture overtop to create the worn look.  Honestly, it's not hard... but I could afford to do an entire tutorial on speedy flat coloring. 

Keep everything on separate layers.  It may make for a big file, but it's worth it in the end to be able to endlessly edit.
