This week, I started to make progress on Yami’s idle, I chose to reference a fairly casual pose. When I draft out my ideas, I try to use confident long lines rather than short lines that appear scruffy.

When I was done with my first draft, I asked my partner what he thought about the perspective. This is because when I draw for a period of time, my eyes get used to the drawing and ignores all the flaws, which is why I needed someone to point out what could be potentially wrong with the image before I proceed onto the line art and rendering. There were a few things that I didn’t realise that were wrong with the drawing until he pointed them out for me:

Once I had refined my sketch more, I quickly drew out the line art. I also added a belt onto his design

By using the selection tool, I filled the areas with colours and began to render:


I found this part quite hard in the sense where I just kept on shading the same areas for it to lead no where as I would restart again. But eventually, I got the end product!
