How To Easily Add Details To Your Vexel Artwork

in art •  6 years ago 


There is a very simple technique to easily add detail to your vexel artwork. This simple method enables you to automatically make shades on the parts that need it. Shades add detail and life to your vexel art work. Note: This method are for those that are still learning and just new about cartooning etc., after much experience in the field, creating your own details to your art works gives a more dramatic and unique look to your art pieces. The model used in this tutorial was from a korean girl group MMLD: Yeon Woo.

So to start the tutorial, the first thing that I did, was to trace the hair using the pen tool.


Next, I applied a stroke path to the outline that I traced using the pen tool.


Then, I outlined the features of her face.


Here are the parts that I outlined, using different thickness of stroke path.


Then, I filled the outlines with a color close to it.


I then used the original, and I desaturated it.


After that, I changed its blending mode to multiply, this is how it looked like.


As you can see now, the shades automatically appeared. But as you can notice also, the colors are not that right. To make it right, I adjusted the colors using hue and saturation and I added a curves adjustment layer to emphasize the shades more, so here is the result.


With the yellow background applied, I added a drop shadow to emphasize her against it.
