in #art6 years ago

Hi Steemians,

After the working day, finally I can post something today and this is my second post after my introduction post. Today I try to draw a picture about my fantasy. Flying cat. haha.., someday I'm imagining that I can riding the cat and we flew to the sky then go to anywhere, to the place that I wanted and it's feels awesome fun. This drawing is not finished yet, it's not been colored. but I wanted to let you know about the process of this drawing step by step. And here's my first step to drawing it.

1. Always begin with StickMan

Why stickman? because in this step, I can play easy to determine the pose, angle and anything that I want to include in my drawing. and that's very simple and easy to draw. ;)

2. Rough Sketch

In this rough sketch I can play with the proportional of man and the cat. the body size, hand, face and foot for both human and cat. play with the layer of clouds to give the depth/perspective to the drawing.

3. Fine Sketch

in this step I try to make the sketch more clean and give them some details such as eyes, mouth, finger, shoes, fur and sharpen the pencil line.

4. Inking

For this step I clean all the pencil, using the thin and thick line (like using a brush) to drawing the line by line until it looked better and clean.

That's all the 4 step that I do to make this Flying Cat drawing, even though they not finished yet. there's still couple step further to make this drawing done. such as add ink shadow, flat coloring, and coloring for shadow and lighting.

For drawing this flying cat I use my digital drawing equipment and software such as:

My equipment:

  1. Notebook
  2. Pen Tablet (Huion 420)

Softwares:

  1. MyPaint (for stickman, rough sketch and fine sketch)
  2. Inkscape (for Inking)

if you want me to provide a guidance on using Mypaint or Inkscape for drawing, I will be happy to make an article about it. okay guys, I'm really open for your comment and advice bellow to make my drawing much better.

Happy drawing and Thank you.
