Venom drawing process (Patreon)

It is my first time drawing Venom, so I thought it will be interesting to share the process: 

1) Draw the Venom shape with solid black color. 

2) Choose the light source. Since you are basically drawing the slime, the light will be strong one. 

3) Take thin, round brush and draw the main highlights along the edge. It is better to choose several points to draw the highlight a bit thick and drag it in between with thin line.  Take a fingertip tool and smudge it a bit. Take some soft brush with lower opacity and draw some highlights on the main "body".  Use finger tip tool to smudge.

4) Lock the layer, copy it and color the copy of the layer into some random color - I chose blue. Change the layer mode to "Color burn". Play with transparency.
