TUTORIAL // elevating your sketch by adding color (Patreon)

Hey patrons! I’m starting this month with the tutorial, and it is on elevating your sketch by adding color! This one was suggested to me in the discord server, and I thought it was a wonderful idea for a tutorial. This tutorial is not just about adding color to a sketch, but about doing so in a way that brings added value to the sketch while still preserving the appealing elements of the sketch itself. I hope it’ll inspire some of you to dig up some old sketches and bring them to life with a splash of color and detail!

Below is the cheat sheet for this tutorial, and you can also download the PDF for it at the bottom of the post:

I hope you enjoy this one! Subtitled version is coming up in a minute.
