Here is my video of how I basically color my works (and hopefully the video is working). Do be warned, it’s an HOUR long, you don’t have to watch the whole thing. I’m still a bit a newbie when it comes to livestream, so I’m still learning. I used livestream because I watch other artists using this program to “live stream” their art, and it’s really fun to watch them. That’s how I got an account in the first place. There’s a few videos in that particular account already, so feel free to check them out.
Now, the assignment says that we should submit a video progress from start to finish. Well, that’s a bit of a problematic for me. See, for me the actual sketching and drawing phases take the longest for me. For me, I sometimes take days to draw what I want to draw, in this case, this particular project took about 3-4 days until I was satisfied with the figure. There are some projects where I feel happy with what I draw one day, and then the next, I hate it and completely re-draw the whole thing all over again, and this project was one of those examples. Of course, I had other school assignments that kept me busy. I’ve redrawn this character at least 3 times, as seen below.
Not to mention the various hairstyles that she had to go through.
She was seriously quite difficult to draw. Which is why I didn’t document that process on video. So what I did document is how I color, which is my favorite part. Also, like other artisits, I listen to music while working on my art. I do have such a random taste in music; I have pop, rock, hip hop, Jpop, Kpop, and so on. So I hope you didn’t mind the random genres of music.
If you do watch the entire hour of the video (wow, I will thank you), you will notice me derping a few times, like trying to close an email update, but it opened up my internet, so I had to get out of that quickly, and somewhere in the video, there’s a few seconds of awkward silence, and it’s because I accidentally hit the pause button on my Mac instead of the next button. And I hope you enjoyed the video!
