Alice (Procreate speedpaint)

I've been using Procreate again for digital art and I'm realizing how much I missed it! It's such a compact, user-friendly program and I love how intuitive it feels to draw with. To get used to the layout and features again, I made a digital painting of American McGee's Alice.
Key points: (✧ω✧)
- I like to start out with small thumbnail sketches to get a gist of what overall composition looks best. Super simple to start with, no details at this point!
- Lately, I've been prioritizing values before colors. I use a single green hue to arrange my values in a way that emphasizes the parts I want to focus on (areas of higher contrast draw attention while areas of lower contrast recede into the background).
- I adjust the colors with the selective Curves tool, which allows me to quickly change the monochromatic scheme and add in skin tones.
- I throw an Overlay layer in a warm color across her face at the end to add more saturation to that area and further draw in the eyes.
I hope this video was useful or interesting to watch! I love how Procreate automatically records speedpaints for you, such a useful feature!
As always,
Vicki
