Hello everyone! 🥰

After lots of filming and drawing, here is a brand new tutorial video! 😍Thank you all so much for your patience while I was working on it, I love putting lots of detail into these tutorials for you guys so they always take more time to make! 🙈In this video I'll be leading you guys through my whole process when it comes to creating a character design, starting with how I brainstorm ideas, search for references, combine images for originality, decide colors, and then I'll show you how I sketch and render a character sheet✏️

This is also officially my longest tutorial ever, (it's 34 mins!) because I decided to include some additional footage of my sketching and rendering process, in case you guys would like to see a more in-depth look :) 🧡 So get cozy with your favorite drink and I hope you enjoy! 🍿

📎Other tutorials to check out after this one:

Have a lovely and beautiful day everyone!! I'll be posting a special PSD pack for all Devoted Dragonfly patrons later today so stay tuned for that too! 🥳🎁

Love,

Lydia 💌

I love the tutorial! I wanted to ask you what brush did you use for the sketching?

lotusbubble

Yay I’m so happy you love it! 🥰 I used a brush called Edge Control for gesturing, (you can find it in a free brush pack by JingSketch on his gumroad!) and the other brush I used for details & shading is called Marker Multiply, which is in Max Ulichney’s Comic brush set on his gumroad! 🧡

There seems to be a sort of paper background, where did you get that?
