I did this for Charles's friend's birthday~ It's been A WHILE doing fan art! I think last time I did was in high school, that's a really long time!
It's a character from one of my favorite manga:
NANA
I used my time to make quick tutorial of how I painted it. I wish I have a programe that'll record my progress and post that up... Anyways the way how I paint it nothing special, I don't us any specific kind of tools to paint my girls.

ReplyDeletecan I ask why you use some green when you start the picture? (@__@)a
When you paint, you always have warm color as your base tone and then cool color to do the shadow and also to follow the complementary color.
ReplyDeleteThe orange-red is the main warm color for the skin, green is the cool color to "push" the warm color back so it'll create the form.
I did it very subtle but you'll see her right side of her face has slight green in it.
Hope that helped
