STEP BY STEP // boys of cheer (Patreon)

Some of you requested a little step-by-step for my process of drawing the Cheer studies! Here’s a quick walkthrough of the process I used for those. When drawing semi-realistic studies like this, I sometimes fall into a trap of defining the lines too much, which eliminates all the personality of my first sketch. So for this one, I started adding color to the rough sketch and tried to make as few changes to the original costruction as possible. I added the finishing details towards the end. This process really helps me balance the original loose sketch with the finishing details, without losing too much of either one. I also added large versions of each head. Hope you find it useful!
