Process GIF - Volume 1 Cover Art (Patreon)

Another freebie! I think from now on when I do cover artwork I am going to do progress gifs like this. This just basically shows the main steps I took in working on this image, including my crappy rough sketches I did in my sketchbook before inking and all that. 

This one is a freebie, but the next one probably won't be. I am just doing freebies of some of the older pics I've drawn, like this one. Newer stuff will go in the $5 and up tiers from now on.

Basically, the steps are this:

1. Rough Sketches

2. Compiled Rough Lines (usually only do this for group images)

3. Clean Line Art

4. Base Colors

4. Gradations and Shadows

5. Background, Effects, Etc

6. Highlights and Touch-Ups
