MindGasm No.1: Lunar Lady 🌚🌝⁠

Here's my process: ⁠

  1. Free sketching. Let that pencil take a walk and see what forms want to emerge. ⁠
  2. Ink over the sketch with sum vellum (good tracing paper⁠).⁠
  3. Scan the inks and clean up in Photoshop (get rid of the little artifacts, use Levels, Curves etc. until it's crisp)⁠.⁠
  4. Add flats (the base colors).⁠
  5. Use the marquee tool to draw selections across the various forms⁠.⁠
  6. Use the paint bucket tool (set to gradient fill of the same color as wha, and an 50-70% opacity) on a new multiply layer. Hit all areas you feel would be cast in shadow according to your light source.⁠
  7. Repeat step 5 with a new highlight layer, set to screen, or hard light.⁠
  8. 8Step back, zoom out, scope it, see what stands out!⁠
