Digital art tutorial - How to paint macarons step by step

I just love the taste of macarons! And painting them is almost as good ;) In this digital art tutorial I'll be showing you how to paint macarons with digital painting software and (preferably) a drawing tablet.

STEP 1 - Make a sketch

The first step is to make a sketch! You can keep it nice and loose. I used a reference photo to make this painting.

STEP 2 - Base color

Once you've made the sketch, add a new layer beneath the sketch and start painting the base colors. I prefer using slightly dark tones.

STEP 3 - Defining the shape

Start building up the contrast, focus on the big shapes and getting the lighting right.

STEP 4 - Detailing

Keep working on the little details until you're satisfied. Keep in mind that the colors of the macarons will reflect on their surroundings.

Wanna paint macarons too?! Be sure to show me your final result and tag me in your post.
