🎀 Namjoon Process 🎀 (Patreon)

Slowly gonna upload daily all the content missing I’m really sorry my last month was a total mess I will try my best to catch up TTOTT

1. I decided to upload just the basic simply version of the sketch so I could show you all more of the coloring process. As always I try to keep the main volumes only just to help me understand the raw structure of the face.

2. Started blocking the shadows.

3. In this stage I lay my base tones very roughly using a hard brush and playing around with opacity.

the goal is to separate the light and shadow. I used a blue shade to highlight 💜

3. Magic part hack: to smooth and blend everything I squint my eyes and use a Gaussian blur filter till I see that my base hues match the reference 🤙🏻

4. When I’m happy with my base I start placing the darkest values and reshaping the face planes.

5. Added a bit of saturation using the curves filter and started rendering hair.

6. The main goal with hair was to reach almost white and I always work from darkest value to brightest, so I started experimenting with colours here 💜

7. Drew a guide for my necKlaus, just to understand how it would be more or less and drew a single stone in a different layer to use as model.

8. Added skin texture and a general blur to smooth things out 💜 Spammed glitter cause it makes me the happiest 😤💜
