The only difference is I use Multiply layers on top of the pencils to paint. For me, I didn't want to do this, I wanted to paint on top of the pencil lines. Step 12: Once you're done with additional clean up with layer mask, you can conver this pencil layer into a line art layer as a top layer, so you can paint and colour underneath the line art. The pixels underneath were never touched. All the erasing was done on the layer mask on top of it. Again, it is undestructive because the underneath layer, which is your line art/pencil art was never affected. In other words, what you erased comes back. If you make a mistake, no worries, press X on your keyboard, to switch to White on your palette, and paint over it again, and the underneath picture will reappear. Black to block(erase) parts you don't want. Use the brush tool in the layer mask, and set your colour palette to only black and white. If you use the eraser tool straightaway without the layer mask, you're doing destructive editing. Use a mask layer to do erasing and corrections for undestructive editing. Step 11: Now with your pencil art layer selected, click on the Add Layer mask button at the bottom of your Layers panel. Don't worry if there are still smudge and draft lines visible. This makes your white whitest on your artwork. Next, the far right arrow, click it and bring it closer to center until you see it is at the point of the graft spike. This will darken your black lines to the max. Click the far left arrow and move it to the center until you see the spike on the graft. Other new layers are straight away editable. You only need to double click it for this base layer.

Step 10 b: With your pencil art layer selected, which should be your only & first layer, double click it, so you can start editing it. Afterwards, we can use Photoshop to clean up the lines and any smudges. Try to rub those off first with eraser as much as possible before scanning. Don't worry if you redrew and redrew a 100 times on your paper and there are all kinds of faint lines and even paper indentation captured by the scan. Then, next to do clean up of the pencil lines. At this point, still can't draw or colour yet. But in reality, you can really see with the naked eye. But JPEG is lossy format, so you would lose a bit of details. I made it a bit fiercer looking by tilting that 'brow bone.' Thought of adding horns to the skull too to make it look even fiercer like demonic skull. Made a little bit of changes to her costume like the skull on her shoulder armour. Quite a pain to draw her costume, she is a 3D character, with lots of tiny details on her costume. Nevermind, can scan the artwork in to computer and draw the feet and sword digitally. I felt that was more aesthetic and nice to look at. I wanted to have a 'loop' curve of the sword around her. It can be used as a broad sword or be extended into a long whip with the multiple parts of the blade detached. Step 7: Ran out of paper space for feet and her sword 'cross guard' and the chain/rope coming out of her sword. Also as reference for lighting and shadows.

Step 6: Used 3D software XNAlara(free software) with character model to pose fist and fingers as reference to draw. Referenced photos of character and people to adjust that. The chest area underwent quite a few redraws, because initially the breasts were too high up. Readjusted drawing by redrawing chest and neck area. Decided she looks better with more neck showing. Step 5: Initially I drew her hunched forward a bit more and camera angle whereby you won't see much of her neck as it is obstructed by jaw. Haven't added the costume and details yet. Step 4: Flesh out the main muscles of torso and limbs. So I had to redraw the rest of the body with larger proportions to fit the head. The head got a little bigger than the body. Once I was quite happy with it, then I started drawing the face. The darker pencil leads are for tightening the lines once I was sure of the drawing. The lighter pencil lines are for sketching. Mechanical pencils 0.5mm, with H and 2B leads. Step 2: Just a plain A4 sized photocopy paper. Watched some of the game videos to get the essence of this character. Step 1: Look for reference photos and videos of this character online. Tools: Pencils, paper, eraser, & small wacom tablet(any other good brand tablet will do too) But I didn't have any other preplanned ideas. I have just a rough idea in my head on the stance. I thought of drawing Ivy Valentine from the game, Soul Calibur VI. I started this as just something to practice.
