Valentines Clarissa - The Process
Added 2022-03-03 06:24:40 +0000 UTCGothentines Day Clarissa, from start to finish.
The sketch is not as line intense as they often are; normally I'll do a lot of loose lines very quickly, and then clean it up a bit once the basic shapes start to emerge. It's usually very sloppy, initially. This time though, I hit pretty close to what I wanted early on.
When doing the lines I re positioned her nipples slightly. Nothing really worth mentioning about that, but I did.
Whenever I'm doing the flat colors for Clarissa, I run into the issue where her skin tone is white, and Photoshop's default background is white, so I don't know if I've missed a spot. I'll usually flood fill a layer with a color that's otherwise not going to appear in the pic so her skin will stand out, normally a cold light beige. The Valentines Gradient replaced this layer later.
What's your preference on the final, blushing or not blushing? Is she embarrassed by her nudity, or flush with excitement? Or maybe with exertion...?
Enjoy,
-D
