Draw and color anime girl step by step process another attempt

Draw and color anime girl step by step process another attempt!


My last attempt to revive the old drawing of Anime looking character was not so successful. So I take a different direction. I am looking at a simpler and going with a fewer values.


Because of last time I try to maintain the simple anime face and try to render everything else out...it clashed. Now, I am doing less but adding more of other element instead like designs, costume and such. It works out better than last time so it looks like I will be able to finish it in a couple sessions. It takes a lot of thinking than I think it would. Since I am doing the realistic render/ painting concept at work all day. It's a little tricky to switch the mentality and simplify and make good looking cartoon.

Hey, thanks for all the feedback GUYS!!! Appreciate :)
I clean up her skin tone on the chest area, I figured it doesn't need that many values as I previously painted. Sometimes it's necessary to scale back the value range and keep it simple for the sake making it looks better. :)
I change the leather color to white because white make it look more futuristic/ sci-fi and that what I am going for in this one. Brown leather color usually goes well with fantasy, western, etc.
Here is almost final version...
And of course...THE SUNSET way in the back behind them buildings for Pokepetter.
I think I am going to call it done here for now then go work on something else. I might have some idea to go further after that. But for now here it is :P

Painting over my old anime girl drawing process

Painting over my old anime girl drawing process, girl with guns!

This one sketch and quick color of Anime Girl I did a couple years back. And I thought it is a good time to kind of revive and paint over and see what I could come up with.
There is something about this color sketch even though it's neither finished nor anatomically 100% correct. It has something that I am fond of, could not pin point what it is.

I really have a hard time repainting and reimagining the image as it exist. The process goes really slow, I am struggling to make it look better overall. I could not resist trying to make the face become a little more realistic or render it out. But every time (I did a few versions) I paint over the face, it lost its originality or its identity. Plus, none of them looks as charming. So I decided to leave the face as is for now.

Here are step by step of what I did with it

Grrrrr.......no so happy here yet. Still to be continued.

I wasn't really happy with the result of what I've done to it so far, but there are some elements that I think worth keep working on and spend a few more hours exploring. I might be able to turn this sinking ship around. I'm thinking using the character's proportion and shape from the 2nd panel with the latest version of the scene possibly.

Anyhow, this one went on the wrong direction so I did another one which is more of what I am looking for here draw and color Anime girl step by step.
