In this post I will explain a bit how I make my drawings in digital. For this small explanation I will use my last drawing of the challenge #drawthisinyourstyle the original drawing belongs to @ / linkdoodle (that is your user in Instagram) and already in a previous post explain what the challenge was, but practically is to draw the same Only in my style.

First of all, the program I use to digitize is called paint tool sai. It is very easy to learn to use and what I like is that you can create your own brushes. Another little thing is that I use a drawing board wacom intuos draw.

I always do the sketches in pencil and then I take a picture of that drawing. There are quite a few artists who start drawing in digital but I do not feel comfortable doing that, so I do it in the traditional way and also in that way I do not lose the habit of grabbing a pencil to draw.

I do the lineart with a created brush, the program has not determined it.

I always start by painting the skin and then the hair. To paint first select the part I want to paint, then I cover that area with a base color and then I start to put shadows or highlights. For shadows use a marker brush.

Then I paint the clothes, a small thing that I always do is that when my drawing takes a great part of the black value, I do not use a pure black value, I do it for aesthetic thing of my part that for another thing.

Then I go with the background, as it is a drawing in which I almost have to completely copy the original work because that is the background it brings. And finally I do not leave the lineart in black, but I color it, depending on the area in which it is. I do that by creating a new blank layer (that layer has to be on top of the lineart layer), and I press the button that says cut out group, there I can already color the lineaert with a hard brush.

And ready, half explain how to draw in digital. Maybe in the future it will be more detailed, but they are happy with this for now.
