OK! Enough of me ranting~~ Back to the topic!
4 months after the first drawing, I gave the app another go!! This time with a touch/feel of summer to fit with the season (I don't even have to get into the mood since Malaysia is summer all year long) Without further ado, I'll just lay out all the steps on how I drew it. Drawing with fingers again..ugh (have to stop my fingers from trembling while drawing long lines) These are all screenshots since I drew it on my phone XD I snapped the process 1 by 1 just so I won't lose track of what I'm drawing because it was not as easy as my first drawing.
 |
| Sketch a rough guideline to begin with |
 |
| Add the 2nd layer and start with the face shape, eyes and part of the hair |
 |
| Reduce the opacity of the guidelines (add and adjust the guidelines as you go) to get a better grasp on where to draw Draw the rest of her body and dress |
 |
| Finishing the arc of her hair and correct her fingers Added a flower on the guideline layer |
 |
| Added a ponytail and a flower. Completion of line art. Doing last checks to see if there're any mistakes. |
 |
| Removal of the guideline layer to reveal a clean line art. (CAUTION: once you delete the layer, you can't undo it) So now I'm back to 1 layer. |
 |
| This is where things started to get difficult. Add 2nd layer Colour her hair by blending different shades of red. |
 |
| Add 3rd layer Colour her skin, also in different shades to create tone Merge it to 2nd layer(hair) after done. (CAUTION: You also can't undo it after merging) |
 |
| Add 3rd layer again Colour her dress with different shades of purple with a mix of pink Merge it again to the 2nd layer |
 |
| Add 3rd layer *again* Colour her eyes with different shades of blue. Added some black & dark blue short lines on her eyes Merge again |
 |
| Add 3rd layer *again~* Finishing the rest of the flower with bluish purple and a hint of brighter purple Merge again |
 |
| Add 3rd layer Give some colour to the background. Light blue as base, reduce opacity of other colours and slash it around Merge again but make sure you're satisfied with the background |
 |
| I was unsatisfied with the dull skin tone so I added another layer Add more tone to her skin, darker tone at where it should be (near hair and under her dress) Add a little blush (P/S: for this to be visible, drag this layer to the 2nd position before merging) |
 |
| I added another layer to insert my signature and date And IT'S DONE!!! |
 |
| Then I crop out the parts I don't need. Tada!! |
 |
| I used my phone to my advantage, editing it with phone's effect The colour looks warmer, perfect for summer!! |
 |
| Another edit version, this time to make her glow. Just as if she's walking under the sun by the beach~ きらきらと眩しいです！ |
Tons of steps for quite a simple drawing. It's because of having only 3 layers that it took so much effort to complete it. And drawing with fingers just increased the difficulty~ I know it's not an impressive drawing or anything but I'm satisfied with the result ♡~
