July step by step + psd (Patreon)

As always, the lines feel so much stiffer than the sketch. I also appear to have shrunk Wisteria's head at some point, and realistically proportioned heads really don't work with my big-eyed anime-esque drawing style.

Rough colours + fixed Wisteria's head

Foreground coloured! This was done on multiple layers, one base layer for skin/dress/hair and then shading layers clipped on top to each base layer for the shading. Unlike my usual process, I didn't use multiply layers for shading, just normal layers. I used my standard watercolour brush for colouring - but without the 'watercolour border' effect.

Background in progress.

Background continues.

Final details painted on top + colour adjustment (using a levels layer and a partially erased colour balance layer).
