STEP BY STEP // boys of cheer
Added 2020-02-24 12:55:20 +0000 UTCSome of you requested a little step-by-step for my process of drawing the Cheer studies! Here’s a quick walkthrough of the process I used for those. When drawing semi-realistic studies like this, I sometimes fall into a trap of defining the lines too much, which eliminates all the personality of my first sketch. So for this one, I started adding color to the rough sketch and tried to make as few changes to the original costruction as possible. I added the finishing details towards the end. This process really helps me balance the original loose sketch with the finishing details, without losing too much of either one. I also added large versions of each head. Hope you find it useful!

2025-03-17 15:08:53 +0000 UTCafter ten days of binge watching tutorials I decided to try and paint something and I chose this step by step because it seemed concise and simple to follow, and I wouldn't feel overwhelmed by a lot of instructions. and I think it was the best decision I could have made because it turned out so good I actually wanted to show you! XD no, but seriously I'm in complete awe of you, because in this journey of self-teaching myself digital art I have watched a bunch of tutorials, but you are, without a doubt, the best teacher I ever had.

2020-03-02 16:39:54 +0000 UTCI used macalabs HB pencil brush for the sketch - http://cbr.sh/fg8up?ref=loish and then I just used the hard round brush for the rest - http://cbr.sh/3jq96x i think the solidity comes a lot from blocking in colors and adding some shading! this gives volume through color rather than line!
