Description Creation Process of my work 'The Guardians.' 

The coloring technique I used for this one is a bit different but my process is still the same. I'm more into characters with this one so I worked with the background a bit late during the process. It's the background that I try to fit with the characters and not the othe way around. I only do the background first if it's gonna be cinematic.

Made with:
-Photoshop CS6
-Wacom Intuos (medium)

Here's a description to it:
-sketch 1 (composition)
-sketch 2 (anatomy)
-tighten sketch
-ink
-flats (midtone)
-color hold (line colors- flats)
-test render (establish lighting)
-shadows
-highlights
-rim light (additional light)
-finishing touches
**background (do it when you see fit)

Here's a link to the finished artwork:

I think I need to save it, unglue them in a gif-redactor and study every picture separately. That's amazing and is totally helpful to learn more. ^__^b Also shows that from a small sketch such great drawings can appear when one works hard on them. ^.^ You should share this pic in some groups. ^w^

Honestly, I feel like I'm doing it wrong most of the time but I believe in myself anyway that I can do it if I'd just put more effort into it and I myself am surprised with the results. Personally, I like to see it from scratch to finished which is why it's a bit fast. Feel free to break it down and study it, I'm glad to be of help.   I'm a bit shy with sharing it though, It's as though I'm imposing what I do to them.

I submitted it to some groups I've joined. It's the finished artwork that I added but I have a link there to the process so I believe that solves my problem.
