Sarhazar #1 step-by-step progression (Patreon)

Some pictures come naturally, easy, effortless... Sure this one turned out like it.

Rough sketch took me literally few seconds. I will often do second colored sketch where I fix proportions, gestures and shape design. I don't have such a great imagination to nail it in b&w line sketch. Next is lineart, greyscale and color added with "hard light" blending mode. As final step I will flatten whole image and add extra details or redraw small stuff if I'm not happy with them.

I'll always base my composition on one of the grid rules, most often spiral one. I'm not super strict about it but effects are better than using none. It ain't much but it's a honest work 👩‍🌾
