Greetings Steemians, todays post feature the second of our brave heroes, Skaar "the Breaker"!
I began with sketching the figure in Autodesk Sketchbook, with my Huion graphics tablet, I went through a few sketches before settling on the one I would use for the line art.

At this point I decided that "less is more" and came up with this.
Skaar2.2.jpg
Something still wasn't clicking, so I tweaked the original sketch into something a little more "cartoony".
Which led to my final sketch. From here, It's onto the penciling, Autodesk Sketchbook has several tools that provide the exact look of traditional wood and mechanical pencils.
With the pencils finished, It's time for colors! I begin by opening a new layer in Sketchbook, and set it to "Multiply", this way the colors do not overlap the line art. From here, I start the "base coat"
From here I begin to utilize other colors for highlight and shading, still keeping things somewhat simple. At the same time, I also erase the excess colors, cleaning up the image.
Finally, I decided to try something new and add another layer in back of the character to create a color background. I am quiet pleased with the end result.
See you next time, and remember. "Keep Steemin"!

Hey, thanks for the support, and don't let digital art get you down. I'm still very new to it myself, and have just begun to scratch the surface. I'll be posting more images soon with more details on the steps I use.

Thanks :)
excellent post! I like the way you give all of us the explanation about your process! I am learning to paint in digital as well. Regards
I highly recommend Autodesk Sketchbook. I've tried other programs, but find Autodesk to be the most user friendly.
HULK #smash
Ha-Ha!! I have always liked Hulk, glad you liked it.
Looks great Maggie! Is the Skaar The Breaker part of a story you are making?
Yes actually, I run Dungeons and Dragons games for my family, Skaar is my son's character.
OMG you are such a cool person! I can barely believe you are a grandmother! The fact that you made this work made me think you were in your twenties or thirties! And you even run D&D games! My God such a blessing to be so energetic, keep going, keep Steeming, and a thousand blessings for you.
:)

This is really fantastic. Not all can draw not all have this kind of talent. This is really amazing art work. Keep it up and enjoy your talent.
Thanks, I had a lot of fun making this one, and will have more to come!
Good gracious Lord, this looks so much fun! the technique, the character dev, ...the endless possibilities! 😱🙀
Glad you liked it, I had a lot of fun with this one. I have always enjoyed making characters and concept art.
Well you are indeed amazing, most people your age don't come close to tech, digital drawing or the like... I'd say you are actually 25-30 in heart and soul... ;) Keep that up! I wish I had a cool Nana like you, for real.
Now about the concept art, I'd like to begin, but I am not sure where :| I make drawings by hand, and I was planning on scanning/photographing them to then edit them with my computer... I lack the drawing tablet though, and I have only used Adobe SketchBook, have you heard of it?
Thats one hell of an awesome orc. i like it.
Indeed it is, glad you liked it!

STOPWow, this is awesome. Thanks for sharing the step by step procedure.
cool drawing mate! :)
The background added in the end takes away from the style in my opinion though.
What you could try is a soft gradient and a solid shadow underneath him, I think that would bring out the character even more :O
Thats what i would do anyway :PP Cool work nonetheless!
Great artwork, can't wait to see what other awesome characters you will come up with next :)
