Please please please I beg of you. Do you have any speedpaints or could you possibly break down your artistic process for a poor soul like me? I would love nothing more than to do a study of your art. It’s just so beautiful, I’m literally tearing my shirt off. 😫

Ok, keep your shirt on.

As much as I'd like to record my process, I'm so disorganised and inefficient it's practically impossible. I've tried to use CSP's record before, but the file size causes my computer to implode. That being said, I'll try to explain:

1. Preliminary sketch: Figure out the pose/composition/whatever and draw it badly.

2. The real sketch: Look at reference photos and draw it for real this time.

3. Values: For this drawing, I wanted the background to 'peek' through the characters, so I used a large rake brush to fill in the values. I like to try and preserve as much texture as possible for visual interest. I merge the values with my sketch, sometimes I keep an extra sketch layer for insurance. I use this merged layer as a mask down the line.

4. Colours: I wanted this one to be dark blue. There is no strict 'way' to do this, just feel out what looks best to you.

I make a mask of the value/sketch layer here, and add it to all my colour layers so I don't go outside the selection and paint over the gaps. I add local colours with a large soft brush.

5. Painting: I don't know how to go about explaining this step, so here's a small window into my process. It's not a complete timelapse but it's better than nothing (I don't like this drawing anymore, I probably won't finish it).

6. Post-processing: Typically from here it's just tweaking colours, lighting and adding effects to finish up. I haven't finished that drawing, so I'm just going to use my most recent finished drawing to give you an idea of the full process. Again, there's no real method to this, do what you think looks good.

I like to layer textures on top of each other, typically set to Subtract, Divide, Difference or Brightness. Tone curves, colour balancing, overlays, what have you. After that, I merge everything to a new layer and then add effects like chromatic aberration and sharpness (don't skimp on the crunch factor).

I know this isn't super detailed but my process seemingly changes with every drawing, I like to try new things, I do things out of order, sometimes I don't even use CSP, and my workflow isn't nearly as streamlined as this little guide would have you believe. Cheers.

Well Yes, that was the original intention, but I fear I abstracted shadowman too close to the sun
