Process + little art talk (Patreon)

I was honestly a bit blocked and slow tonight, well, not blocked exactly just had zero focus?

So i kept faffing up the layers and drawing and colouring on the wrong ones

...Thats why Clouds ears are on the sketch layer....a mess

I have the nsfw ones yet to do and honestly i was almost avoiding the left hand on because i wanted to do this weird pose justice xD

We were talking about sketching techniques during the stream and one of the things i often use is where you don't lift your stylus. Back when i briefly entertained the idea of working in animation we had lifedrawing classes.

One of the techniques my teacher used to make us change up our pencil pressure was that you werent allowed to lift your pencil. So you would have to press so gently that it was barely there. Then you followed the contours of the body and these light lines because to create depth in your sketch. 

One of the things she would tell us to do was to be softer where the material was soft, so softer figures you would keep it light and then harder surfaces you would put more pressure - like in places where there was bones closer the skin - the shoulders, jaw, elbow. 

It give a picture a lot of dimension.

I'll explain this better later.
