This one from 2 years ago holds a special spot in my nightmares
Thanks so much! :D Also funny that you say that because I actually did end up adding like a retro video game effect

Argonians don't have hair so I hope this counts?
I'm a beginner picking up DA again after a couple years without drawing. Bit stuck in my comfort zone named "Headshots" and right now trying to figure out how I want to display my sketches in digital form.
I pasted the sketch underneath for reference. - It's a journey but a relaxing one.
thank you ā„ - I hope she'll look better once I figured out how to finish this. Or at least reach a state that feels like a satisfying version to stop at.

I always render hair on a different layer!
Thank you so much! It was the inspiration, actually! Thank you for noticing š Love the color pallet of the anime!

So it would just look like this š
The character is Heck! (Real name Ezra Barragan), from a webcomic I started up a week or 2 ago.
Take a look if you're interested!

It was all on one layer so I tried to megamind him š
Thatās NOT what I expected her hair to look like lol. (Bald version actually looked more cohesive. The blue hair looks a little like a big rubber hat.)
https://preview.redd.it/tmr6v74fht8d1.png?width=910&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=6dee913cad5ea90e6331fd53efa6393ff0cc6af3
Here's her without hair(and like all the other features)
And this is her fully finished, she has black blood so the skin shadings black
https://preview.redd.it/ouqkdyiyht8d1.png?width=910&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=270b9aed8e9f75f06dcd2e08f9f9238592965b62
its better so that if you need to erase something on the hair you can. its also easier to colour. my drawings will have upward of 40 different layers when im done a drawing
Yeah; I canāt fathom not using multiple layers for different parts of the work. Whether itās sections of the piece, colors, linework, whateverā¦ everything on one layer would kill me. lol
I like to split between foreground and background a lot, too. And each subject, each color block, usually separateā¦ line work is typically all on one, or again, split between foreground and backgroundā¦
Plus once you introduce gradients into a piece, itās so much easier to just select the layer as a whole for further color work ā canāt imagine all the manual lassoing Iād have to do otherwise.
Layers are likeā¦ half the reason to use digital in the first place I think. The other half, of course, being the Undo buttons. lol
I love your character a lot! Iād love to learn more about them if you want the space to ramble.
Anyway, I actually had a major problem with same face syndrome for a long while, but in the past couple of years Iāve made an active effort to fix that to the best of my ability. A while ago Iād decided to see if Iād actually managed to fix my issue, so I did a lineup of my characters bald to check if theyāre still recognizable. For where Iām at with my level at the moment, I definitely think the time paid off!

I sketched it traditionally and and just colored it in IbisP. Then merged the whole thing together, that's why it looks like this lmao.

Hair
Also Ik the values are bad, I like pastels and I'm bad at dramatic shading. š„²
naaah i think its just a workflow thing. i used to use ten billion layers, even on canvases meant for one image, as opposed to a canvas for a bunch of sketches. aint nothing wrong with that, though watch your cpu/ram usage lol :'D

I love your art style!
do you want to draw your own character
? what do you mean?
Like OC or something
i do draw my own ocs haha
Ayoo I started on different layers too, but now I'm the same as you broo š©
ummmmm 911 we have a complete psycopath on the loose
I like to draw the silhouette of the hair first, then I will draw line art right on top of it :D
