Soooo my last skin I went about it differently....much different from how I have ever done it before.

NOTICE: this is NOT a tutorial!! This is to just show a glimspe as to how I start my skins, to maybe give others ideas, but it is NOT a tutorial.


First I open up my Paint Tool SAI and open up a base I have.

Then I start a rough sketch in red

Here I'll be showing my sketch process for my latest skin: Modern Archer  *Oblivion's Contest

I didn't like this idea at all, I was rushing a lot since I became a participant pretty late and I work a lot now so I don't have a lot of time.

So then I created a new sketch, one I liked a lot and decided to keep ^-^
undefined
Usually I draw the back as well but again, I was rushing >.<

Then I draw the linework and add the flat colors
undefined

After that I add the shadows so that way I know how to shade

undefined

As you can see I make sure I made my light source apparent 

now I may have skipped a few parts because I messed around with several different programs before I finally decided how I like to shade

This is the result:  
undefined

after that I decided the colors didn't transfer as well onto the actual skin, so I do several variations before I become happy with atleast 3

undefined

After I created some variations I chose my 3 favorite and worked on them from there...

But obviously in the end the one I chose to use was number 6 
^-^

Then I went ahead and changed the color of the hair from my original sketch to see how it would look, and I actually love it ^-^

*Hopefully if I make it to the next round I'll be able to make a video on that skin, but we'll see! If not a video will be very soon ^-^

I actually don't consider myself that good at digital art because I've always been a traditional artist. I've just been practicing all summer, but maybe I'll put up a tutorial sometime ^-^

You wouldn't happen to have a DeviantArt account, would you?
Anyhoo, cool beans x). Good to see you're posting again.
