Developing a character

But before I get into today’s post, I’ll do something a little different. This is my latest picture, which I’ve posted over at my dA. Click if you’d like to see it in full, plus my little ramblings about it! c:


Let’s go there by ~Hikarino on deviantART

And now. Today I decided to try and work out a set outfit for my character Eva. But the sketch got reeeeally dark so I ended up inking it traditionally.

So much anatomy fail D: It’s been a while since I’ve drawn a full person in my normal style. Or inked traditionally.

I then coloured it, but today I decided to try a very simple anime cel-shade. In other words, all the shading was done on one layer, in one colour, then a layer style was used to make it fit.

Eva Ref sans Jacket 261109This is a different method to my usual one, and the results aren’t nearly as nice xD But as one with an interest in how they do anime’s shading, it was a fun little experiment. Plus it was quick. So I decided to take it one quick step further.

Eva-with-half-bake-colourinAhaha. I had fun anyway. And now I have a ref of sorts for drawing her. Only she usually wears a jacket too.

Her clothes ended up kind of similar to those of a character in an anime Dx But hopefully they aren’t -too- similar…
