I'll show you how I go through my art-making process of making this sweet gal.
I start by making the quick pencils for this cutie. In this stage I make choices before I ink of what stays and goes, usually making adjustments to her features until I feel confident to ink her.
I add a little drop shadow near the head when I ink. I think it brings out her hair.
Once I finish inking I erase all of the pencils though I'll go back over some of the inked lines that look faded. Once that is done I let this sit for a while before I start coloring.
I begin to work on the base colors here on this stage with her fur ( Using 133 baby skin pink TouchNew marker) and ears ( R00 and E0000 in copics and a colorless blender). Her skirt I used permanent markers in pink, orange and red and one artskills marker orange.
I begin shading with tea rose E93 for her hair, fur and ears. It gives a warm and soft shade to the drawing.
Once I finish shading, I begin to add little flowers to the background. Simply I use green and pink permanent markers to make them.
I add in some of the last little highlights with a gellyroll before I complete the illustration.
And we are done~
These are the Materials I used for this illustration. I cut my own stock paper I buy from Walmart.
You can buy a pack of eight Artskill markers at Walmart for five dollars and they are excellent beginner-friendly and affordable markers.
I bought touch new markers from WISH, they're quite cheap. To get the soft colors that I used, I recommend buying their Pastel set which is fifteen dollars but you get twelve markers.
Another brand I love to use that is affordable is Masters Touch markers, they are the cheapest brush markers I have tried and give off really nice colors. They go for five dollars in hobby lobby but you can get them on sale for three dollars a marker every other week.
Lastly, I use sharpies Fineliner and Copic markers.
As a tip, it's good to have the back of a sketchbook behind your paper when you begin to color in your drawing since the markers tend to bleed through the paper.
Nice work drawing her and showing your process! She looks cute. :)
Why thank you!
Cuteness like this takes quite some work for miss Penelope to come out nice.
You're welcome! And definitely! It's a delicate process to get it right. hehe
