Artist's Comments
Step by step thingie for [link]
ONE is a discarded sketch that I initially came up with. TWO is the sketch I chose to color. Believe or not, this is a refined version... The sketch was even rougher than this when I made the decision to color it. THREE... just laying down the basic colors. I knew I wanted soft pastel tones, but wasn't sure where to go really. FOUR I tried a basic shading with lavender as a test. I really liked the result, and decided to build the rest of the picture around it. FIVE I do my "lineart" (if you can call it that) after the basic coloring and shading, as you can see. It works out great for me because my pictures revolve around the colors and the lighting, not around the lineart. SIX and on: more details, color and contrast adjustments, etc. I did this in Photoshop CS4, but the software is irrelevant; anything you're comfortable with will do.  |

When you do your 'lineart' , did you do it below your sketch layer or above it? Also the basic colour too , do you have the layer below/above the sketch layer?
I think you must be having a long time drawing the hair detail. Am I right?
