OC MATT of HER C0MBAT [part 1]

[part 2] [part 3]

Trying to show more of my drawing process cuz it's pretty weird especially when it comes to coloring BUT it's also very fun and I want more ppl to try my techniques

That's why I started writing this mini tutorial post yet it's hard to figure out what I wanna say ಠಿ⁠_⁠ಠ so for now here's a speedpaint that shows how I sketch my rough ideas [another example]

As you can see i usually start with grey background and my drawings take shape in 70% darker / 30% lighter tones with very limited contrast

I also use lines to show where the surface changes it's form for example when folds on clothes create shadow or facial features catch light

Because at this stage your main goal is to build the composition and definite the silhouette <⁠(⁠￣⁠︶⁠￣⁠)⁠> it's easier to keep your overall image vague and not get confused by strict lines and details that really stand out
