Digital Painting - Basic Stages

Here's a less detailed overview of how I approach my paintings.

1) Drawing on paper

2) Inking in Photoshop and filling the shapes with flat colors. Note that small details like wrinkles are not traced yet.

3) Use a textured brush to trace small details -wrinkles, folds etc.

4) Add some subtle gradients on layers above the color fill layers.

5) Paint shadows and textures.

Each of these basic stages have been broken down into more detailed steps on my previous articles below and in blog posts.
