Captain Tiber Lounging: Progress Tutorial (Patreon)

And here's the 5-step process of this month's tier 3 reward: Captain Tiber Lounging!

1) I sketched with pencil and paper as I usually do.

2) I decided on the color palette, which was easy enough to do here. :)

3) I decided on the light sources, which is important for any shading later on.

4) During shading I give depth to the illustration and make sure it looks right.

5) Finally, I add details and final textures, including the glistening of his muscles and hair details ;)

What do you think? :)

EDIT: I am adding a downloadable attachment (and might do so for all future 5-step pics) so you can zoooom in and check out my work in detail! (WARNING, It's a LARGE file!)
