My Art Process: Original Illustration

in art •  7 years ago  (edited)

When I make my own illustrations, the original concept can dramatically change sometimes.
This is a illustration I was making last year. I finally finished it today, however the end product is vastly different from how it looked while I was working on it.

The first thing I did was make the background. on another file I finished the background, I may post the process for that in another post.

I have found that I like to make blobs on the canvas and then mold it into a person. Here I made a general shape and started adding the details of how I want the character to look.
[Basic Body Sketch]

[Hair Placement]

[Basic form of Girl]

After I get the basic parts of the picture done, I can move onto details, by adding shading, highlights, lighting, folds in the clothes, and editing the pose.

[I made lighting adjustment and details in teeth.]
(After this picture the girl starts changing more, I turned out actually liking how she looked here better than the end product. I may go back to this version of the girl on another day and remake her from here, but anyway, I digress. Back to the process)

[ I added blush to the face and highlights in the hair]

[I decided the girl was better scaled up]

[Starting to add more highlights and smoothing out the skin]

[More lighting and detail correction]

[More cleanup- the lips are fuller, teeth more detailed and slight changes to nose and eyes]

[Final Version- very different from the original style I started in]

Do any of you find you change style drastically as you make a picture?
Part of the reason this changed so much also probably has to do with how long of a break I took before finishing.
I would lover to hear your thoughts~

Anyway, until next time...

Cheers!

I love the Discord channel~ I hope I can manage my time well enough to go on there often.
Hahaha, I was thinking of making a video of the process xD but a gif would probably be easier and less time consuming. Thanks for the idea. I will keep that in mind for the next piece I work on.

great +_+

Thank you

Your most recent post activated my inner fangirl xD haha

Next one I will upload is about the manga Vagabond, quiiiiite different than those Shoujo ones haha. And after that I am preparing one that speaks about a horrible manga, called Oldman. BUT, the art is gorgeous, that's why I will create a post anyway. Hope to see you around!

OMG! Vagobond is so cool!!
I can't wait to read your post!
Idk if you have heard of it, but the manga Kazan is also a good one ;)
