Some steps of my painting process.

I start with a very rough sketch to see the pose and anatomy of the character, depending on the complexity, I may work with two or more layers of skectches, for this piece I used only one.
Then next I go for the lineart, you can see it's not perfect, that's because I'll paint over it, so there's no need to spend too much time on this step.
The first layer of colors goes down the lineart, it's just to add the base colors and sketch the illumination, some artists like to work first on grayscale to define better the illumination, but it doesn't work with me, I have already tried many times, but I think my brain only process in colors... xD
And then, above all layers I start painting, sometimes I do the character and the background separetely, sometimes I paint all together on the same layer, in this case, it was everything on the same layer.
I always adjust the colors in the end, you can see that Cloud's face was too green, not looking much healthy, right? So I added some warm colors with an overlay layer.

My process vary from piece to piece, but the steps I always repeat are the first ones, sketch and lineart.

Thank you very much for watching/reading!
