Drawing Snapshot - A Flower Gift (Patreon)

Hello everyone,

I drew a sketch in my tiny sketchbook recently and thought it would be cute to turn into a digital illustration, so here's my process for making it!

I had already drawn this little sketch, I'm not sure exactly what inspired me to create it, I think I just started drawing a critter with a flower and then wanted them to have somebody to give it to.

Then my digital illustration process went something like this:

I drew a digital sketch based on the pencil sketch I had already drawn in my book. It isn't exactly the same, but close enough!

Then I made the sketch layer about 30% opacity so that I'd easily be able to see through it onto new layers below it.

Using the sketch as a reference, I coloured in all of the main shapes using my 'charcoal' brush from my second brush pack.

Then I added some smaller details on top, like stars for the orange vest and details on the flower.

I gave everything a broad pass of texture, mostly using my 'soft crayon' and 'chunky crayon' brushes.

Next, I added shading using the same texture brushes but also the 'texture medium' and 'smooth shading' brushes.

And that's it!
