Sleepyhead Aza Process + PSD
Added 2023-12-21 16:27:24 +0000 UTCThis was actually a sketch I had left sitting in my work doc for MONTHS before i finally decided to finish it and make it a christmas-themed thing. Much of the work was basically all there, it was only a matter of refining the sketch and popping off from there.

2023-12-21 17:14:12 +0000 UTCI usually factor in the base shading as a guide for how Those elements should look; I work around the shading I lay out

2023-12-21 17:02:42 +0000 UTCAhhhh I gotcha. How do you factor in other bodily effects, like hair/feather sheen, or being wet?

2023-12-21 17:01:35 +0000 UTCThe way your shading adds more softness to the way you already draw things like the thighs and chest does impressive work, not to mention the fact that you add squish to the belly does wonders lol

2023-12-21 16:55:43 +0000 UTCI kinda freehand it and mentally work out how light hits characters lol

2023-12-21 16:55:32 +0000 UTCDo you have a light reference or model that you use for lighting, like Blender or shining a lamp on a formless figure?

2023-12-21 16:52:07 +0000 UTCI usually keep in mind having a light source to guide my shading, yeah. Even for the most simple pieces

2023-12-21 16:47:13 +0000 UTCDo you find yourself messing around where the comes from, or you kinda just... feel it out?

2023-12-21 16:45:35 +0000 UTCYeah a lot of the heavy lifting is done by the shading, nowadays at least lol

2023-12-21 16:43:01 +0000 UTCIm assuming the optimization is in your shading, right? I noticed a few older pieces kinda use like a gradient on areas where clothing blocks lights, on top of using a dual layer in other areas where that body part isn't facing the light source.
