February's (2025) reward for Patreon Leaf! Feat. her favorite OC, Leaf, having a little trouble with someone trying to capture her.
1- Sketch: I first get the basic layout of the drawing, and try to brainstorm some ideas for the dialogue and the pose.
2- Lineart: Now I draw the real lineart while adding and fixing some things here and there.
3- Flat colors: Then come the flat colors for the character and the pokeball.
4- Gradients: Then some lighter and darker gradients for every color and some for the ears and tail (important for the design).
5- Shading: After that come some shadows and highlights with proper transparency, colors and settings.
6- Visual effects: Then some glow and enhanced shadows here and there. Along with some motion blur where needed.
7- Final touches: And last but not least, some environmental shadows and effects here and there and it's done!
