How I Draw Digitally || Tutorial — Description
Heey guys ^^ this is the first time i made a tutorial, basicly a rough tutorial. im gonna explain how to draw digitally in my own version and style, featuring this little guy lukey!
Lets Start!

~READING SECTION~

1. Rough Sketch
This is the most basic step of all drawings, rough sketch, or just sketch itself is just about drawing the first pose and planning the character's structure and base at first, sometimes i redraw a sketch 3 times just because i didn't like it

2. Lineart
Its almost like the sketch, but basicly just redraw the line into a smoother and much more detailed than before, and its okay if you draw the line a bit longer, You could just ignore it or erase it with ease.

3.Base Colour
This step its just about picking the right colour for the drawing or character, but don't use a very high saturated colour, because it causes a pain in the eyee *^* just use a normal, smooth, and rich colour (tip, don't use too many colours for the drawing or the colour which doesn't match the drawing at all)

4.Hard Shadow
At first, you must figure out the lighting that came for the character, usually lighting came from above which is basicly a sun so the shadow appears on the bottom, except when it comes to drawing a character at a cave, or at night, where theres no lighting just draw a basic dark shade for the shadow and put the layer opacity at 30% until 50% so you can see the shadow effect. (I felt like a teacher right now :'D )

5.Soften Shadow
After i draw the shadow, i recolour it into a smoother shade, like dark purple or dark blue, trust me, its worth to try then i smoothen the shadow by brushing it with smudge, it will take some time but its worth it.

6.Lighting
Like i said before on step 4, just add a bright colour that would likely came from the source of the light to the object, (tip, the colour of the light source must match the colour that hit the object, ex= if a light came from a purple lightbulb, all of the reflection that hit the object should be coloured purple )

7.Finishing Detail
The last step is just about fixing some mistakes and add more detail to the drawing, so the drawing doesn't look too empty and you can add some of the little details that came from the character

Thats all the tips that i can give to all of you right now im sorry if this tutorial is not very clear, im still trying to improve my skills at drawing like most of the professional artists do im still a normal person that likes to eat noodles too ya'know 😌 (cuz im asian jk)

I hope this tutorial could give you some inspiration and improvement!
