✌ PROCESS

✦✦✦ colliding ✧ spiral ✧ galaxies ✦✦✦
two hot tempered, short fused rivals who happened to wear the same outfit to school and decided to fight for their right to be the sole wearer of said outfit


initially i wanted to draw a pre-fight scene where they'd just bumped into each other (while wearing the same shirt). the concept/imagery didn't seem strong enough though.


FIGHT FIGHT FIGHT


i really loved the subtle shoulder bump / deathglare imagery so i went back to it briefly.


i also really liked the fight scene, but it seemed too static and didn't tie back to the idea of colliding galaxies (and i also didn't know what to do with the background), so i decided to make it more of a circular shape to make it seem like they're even more tangled. they also look more like actual colliding spiral galaxies this way.


i blew up my tiny sketches, printed it out, and did a more finalized linear on tracing paper so i could transfer it onto watercolour paper.


sketch on watercolour paper :D
i like that with tracing paper it's light enough so the pencil won't be visible once i paint over it, and i can still kind of keep the quality of my smaller sketches.


i spent a long time painting the skin. ; ____ ; it didn't used to take forever. i think i prefer it without the blue/brown shadows though! the past few years i've always painted skin with yellow, red, and blue, but now i might try only yellow and red. it looks more fresh? hmmmmmmm.


scraps to test out my colours and to get the line weight i want for outlining!


AND THAT'S IT FOR PAINTING PROCESS NO.1 OUT OF MANY.
:D
