This one took, honestly, forever. I think I started working on it on the 14th and finally put the finishing touches on it today. Of course I didn't work on it constantly, but that's because I got really frightened of the highlights in her tail and lacked the confidence to actually do them. Ninetales is my favorite pokemon, so I tried to be pretty damn accurate. I know she's looking rather angry, I didn't mean to make her face so angular, but overall I am actually quite satisfied with this piece.
If'n you care what's going on in my life aside from drawing please check out my personal blog: Podróż Do Zostania Srebrny Anioł (No, it's not in Polish.) I plan to update it more often now that I'm doing this one. It's just easier to keep all of my blogging in one space. I like tumblr, but it's not really a place for personal blogging, and Wordpress kinda ate me alive, so I'm back to Blogger.
I used a new technique in coloring. My steps are kind of boring, so I'll explain them after the jump.
- I sketched it out in Photoshop
- Inked in Illustrator
- As I was in Illustrator I looked at the original picture and outlined the colored areas in the color they were supposed to be (which is why the highlights look a lot smoother this time)
- Transferred back to Photoshop
- Used MuliFill to fill all non-congruent white areas with a different color
- Used the paint bucket tool to fill in all the colors
