Well, thanks for tuning in for this year’s Virago Art Challenge all July long, and I thought I’d throw you guys a little WIP post to put a neat cap on it! This is Day 29, a barricading Enjolras, from start to finish:1.) Finished pencil lineart, scanned. This one was done on an art board of some sort. (I don’t know what they’re called, but they sell them in Japanese stationary stores, and I’m told they’re supposed to be for getting celebrity autographs and stuff? Whatever the case, they take mixed media shockingly well, considering they just feel like a piece of printer paper attached to a bit of cardboard.)2.) The start of the ink wash process: it’s hard to tell in this photo, but there’s a very thin yellowish wash over the whole piece except for the flesh-colored and white parts. 3.) Flesh tones have been filled in completely, the shading on the pants has been started, and a few other details have been started, too.4.) Hair is fully colored in, and I’ve laid down an ink under-layer on the flag, to make it easier to color it seamlessly with marker.5.) Flag is in the process of being colored with Copics marker.6.) Flag is fully colored, and some of the lineart has been darkened.7.) All the ink under-layers have been added, and more lineart has been darkened.8.) More lineart has been darkened, and you can see the process I used to color in the coat with mechanical pencil, which I’ve started here on the sleeve.9.) Finished piece, color boosted on Photoshop.10.) Detail of the finished piece.Find Virago here! -- source link
