PROCESS VIDEO // 2001 anime remake
Added 2020-02-19 17:25:03 +0000 UTCI posted a drawing that I made in 2001 in my socials, mostly for laughs, but then a bunch of people told me to redraw it and honestly, that seemed like a fun idea! Here’s the original:
And the new version:
The full process vid is above! It’s sped up 4x, so not too fast. The drawing took me about 2.5 hours to make and my main focus was on capturing a similar color scheme / makeup look as the original. Some things to notice while watching the video:
FLIPPING THE IMAGE
I usually don’t flip the image too often during the process because it takes me further away from the original composition, but for portraits like this, I’ve been doing this more and more often. This is mainly because the picture is so lopsided when I turn it the other way, and correcting these issues throughout the process keeps this in check. If I don’t flip it, the lopsidedness can get worse and worse as I render!
CREATING LUMINOUS EDGES
Sometimes I like to make the edges of shapes bright and saturated, to give the image an ‘electric’ feel. It creates pops of bright color and makes the colors very vivid. In order to do this, I duplicate the drawing, saturate it, and then use a layer mask to paint in this brighter version only around the edges of the shapes. You can see me doing this at the 13:15 minute mark. Basically it’s just:
- Duplicate the layer and saturate it
- Add a layer mask and invert it so everything is hidden
- Paint on this mask with a white brush. Wherever you paint with white, the saturated colors will show.
- Once you’re done, merge it together!
Hope you enjoy the video and let me know if you have any questions!

2024-12-08 10:42:47 +0000 UTCyour electric edges technique reminds me of old printed comics. if the CMYK print process was out of alignment it would give a blurry feel and hurt the eyes slightly. :) Great work!

2020-03-05 14:55:18 +0000 UTCthanks so much! the round brush has no texture, it's just a smooth one. it has size and opacity set to pressure. i will post more about it soon :)

2020-03-05 11:37:55 +0000 UTCHi Loish! your art is so inspiring! I've been learning a lot with your videos! the lines expression is simply perfect. two questions: does your hard round brush have any texture? and do you use it with minimum diameter shape dynamic? Thank you!

2020-03-05 02:29:21 +0000 UTCthank you! for this one I didn't use any reference. but I definitely learned a lot from doing reference studies in the past.
Loish
2020-03-03 10:20:57 +0000 UTCDo you use reference for your rendering? I just cant believe how perfect your shadows are! Maybe its from drawing people ALOT?

2020-03-02 21:30:41 +0000 UTCi will keep that in mind for the future, maybe make a step-by-step for it!

2020-03-02 16:43:17 +0000 UTCHi, Loish! I've been wondering if it were possible for you to show us your entire process for how you do hair. I've studied most of your videos and know that you rely on the ribbon method, but I feel like that doesn't really show much in terms of the entire process. I know you're super busy, but I just thought I'd let you know my thoughts!

2020-02-20 15:01:55 +0000 UTCit helps to sketch loosely and use a brush that mimics pencil! maxpacks gouache set has some great brushes for sketching in procreate!

2020-02-20 09:51:34 +0000 UTCI definitely prefer photoshop! I think mainly because it's the program I used the most throughout my life and it's just more comfortable for me.

2020-02-20 09:51:04 +0000 UTCthat is the pencil brush by macalabs! you can find it here: https://cubebrush.co/macalabs/products/trita/macalabs_sketching-photoshop-brushes

2020-02-20 09:48:12 +0000 UTChaha at that age I had no idea that I was really going to go into art. I thought I was going to be an anthropologist or historian. :')

2020-02-19 22:53:45 +0000 UTCThank you so much for your tips, they've helped a lot. I've always been a fan of the wedge like brush you've used in this in the first half, how did you make it?

2020-02-19 18:59:58 +0000 UTCI love watching these. Do you prefer Photoshop over procreate?
Michele
2020-02-19 18:08:42 +0000 UTCI love these colors! And thanks for the tips. I'm mostly a traditional artist wanting to learn more digital painting so breaking down your process is helpful.

2020-02-19 17:55:46 +0000 UTCThis is so helpful! I’ve been trying to incorporate more rim light in my own work and it always managed to fall short, so I’ll try this out!

2020-02-19 17:47:33 +0000 UTCHow do you get such dynamic lines and line value? I especially struggle with this on procreate!
