*The tool I used was Photoshop CS2.From here on, all the work will be focused on just filling things in. I lower my Brush to 20% and quickly color things in so they pop out. The eyes at the center of this image will be the part I fill in the most, so I proceed to work with the eyes as my focus.I'm coloring with red for this image, but it might be fun to try it with a purple or bluish color. For females, it might make it seem like something they've done with makeup.I lower the new layer's opacity to about 10%.First I do a line drawing in mechanical pencil and put it into Photoshop. Since it's a little tough to see what's what, I do some additional drawing with the Brush tool. Finally, I erase all of the rough sketchwork and do a fairly rough drawing.Hello to all and, to the new people, nice to meet you! I'm Miche. For this one I tried to put together a simple summary of my creative process. All those out there saying, "I could try that!" please do so!Next, I lightly add some color. I lower the brush opacity to 30% so I can see the line art while I color. I have four layers: the background, the table in the foreground, the girl, and her hair. I color in all the parts on their respective layers. And that finishes off all the non-prep work!When the coloring for the face is pretty much done, I color the hair. I start painting with a brush of about 20 px, gradually reducing its size.I color in even more. I add another layer and lay in some red over the edge of the eye, which I do often because I personally like it.By the way, the above method is also how I color the lips.Finally, I adjust the contrast, and it's done.Thank you very much for sticking with me all the way to the end!Keeping aware of the flow of each strand, I color so it feels like I'm layering on the hair. I feel it looks better just to fill in the parts I want to show, rather than draw in every detail of the hair.
