Hello, Sumine here! Today I’m transforming a real-life reference into an anime-style illustration.
Let’s dive right in!
Sketching Stage
As usual, I start with a rough sketch and then refine it with clean line art.


Coloring Stage
Base Colors

After finishing the line art, I start by applying the base colors.
Shadows

Next, I add the first layer of shadows.
The first shadow layer mostly covers areas where cast shadows occur, except for places where two surfaces meet closely, like lips or armpits.
This shadow layer is usually darker than the base color but not as dark as the shadows between two touching surfaces.
Highlights

Then, I add highlights, especially to the hair.
