Carnation - Step by Step

This is the step by step of my previous post, Carnation..~


And some [oddly and bad grammar-ish] instructions below...~

-----------------------------------------------------------

I use Paint Tool SAI, and Photoshop CS5 for the background [part 6-8]

1. The basic sketch

2. Lining, Usually I use pen tool on SAI.

3. Basic color. Let's forgot the wings atm.

4. Shading the boy. [light source from his back]
- For the clothes here, I use 3 layer: 1 basic color, 1 main shade [darkest one] , and 1 additional shade [a bit darker than the basic one] . 
- For the skin and hair, I use more layers. 
- For extra to make it more dramatic, add some lightshade [[airbrush]]  here and there, and some darkened color.

5. Yeah let's create the background basic color. Use white, light blue, blue, darker blue, and darker again, and so on, and mix 1 color with the others with [[Blur]] tool. you can use [[oil brush]] too, but it's a little difficult for me.

6. [currently moved to photoshop cs5] </b>
Paint the basic color of clouds, I use white and decreased it's opacity/density. Actually you can use SAI too for this, but because I'm too laze to paint the clouds myself, I use Yuumei's Cloud Brush on Photoshop for it... //Xora, you're cheating. Bad girl.

7. Now paint the second color of our cloud. It can be blue color or light blue or purple, alright let's mix them all. Feel free to blur some part too.

8. Add some extra effect of cloud. i use white [again] and some light purple randomly. [and some white dots there, I use another brush from Yuumei's brush set]

9. [moved again to SAI] .
Give some light effect on the center part, up-right part, and a little light effect between Ando's hand and his body.
[[color: light purple | airbrush | Mode: luminousity]]

10. Move the wings sketch uuuup, and set its mode to [[Luminousity]] . Then make another layer and [[clipping group]] it. Use white again, and [[luminousity]] again.

11. This one is just an extra. I used Photoscape to deepened the color and change the contrast a bit.

And voila, there you go. [just ignore the last image]
