1. Initial sketch

2-3. My usual process lately has been sketch into lineart, into color.  But for this picture I want to try a process with a little more freedom to work with.

The sketch's opacity is lowered, and underneath it different sections are filled in to represent different parts of the character.  Each is on a different layer so that every part of the character can be adjusted at will.  This was actually how I painted a long time ago (2019 or so) so it will be interesting to see what comes out of this process with what I've learned over the years.

4-5. Shading

6. Detail work
