It's on the House, Heroes! (FINISHED + step by step) (Patreon)

I enjoyed working on this piece so much I'm almost sad it's over T_T
Here are the overall steps I took for this picture <3

-

1: Sketch!!

2: Lineart!

3: Character Flats + food rendering

4: Environment Flats

5: Environment Texturing + BG

6: Character Mood Lighting
I achieve this by using an overlay layer! I wait until the background is almost fully established before doing this so I can make sure the characters look like they 'belong' in the scene!

7: Character Shading + Lighting

8: Final touches. Plates, bowls, cups, steam effects, blur effects, etc!

I hope you guys enjoy it!
