manga Drawing Tutorial

 

Step 1

for the backround i used a blue color with
R:0
G:167
B:213

for the clouds i used white with transparancy set on 15 with the airbrush on 5

 

Step 2

begin to draw the face and body in the guide, note: this is a rough sketch

 

 

Step 3

continue to flesh out your guide, observe characteristics and features that make your character unique, in grimmjow youll see things like:
a hollow hole in his abdomen, a jaw with 14 teeth on the right side of his face, blue hair blue marks on the sides of his eyes, and notice you rarely see grimmjow smiling (unless its a sadistic smile) most of the time he looks serious

 

Step 4

continue to flesh out your guide, observe characteristics and features that make your character unique, in grimmjow youll see things like:
a hollow hole in his abdomen, a jaw with 14 teeth on the right side of his face, blue hair blue marks on the sides of his eyes, and notice you rarely see grimmjow smiling (unless its a sadistic smile) most of the time he looks serious

 

Step 5

add the hair and facial features, note dont worry if they dont look 100% right now cuz we'll fix that later, (note: i added a colar on his cuz he is my lil evil kitty) i was going to put a dort of frown on him but it turned more into a sexy smirk o///o

 

 

Step 6

start coloring the skin using the fill tool, note you dont have to be exactly on the lines

i used the color on
R:240
G:191
B:159

remember to save the color so you can use it again later

 

Step 7

it should look something like this when you turn off your guide

-turn your guide back on

 

Step 8

select the fill tool and select the color
R:210
G:161
B:132
and set transparancy to 40

begin darkening some areas
-such as under the chin, between the fingers, his colarbone, under his eyebrows,shadows of his hair and by his nose, some areas like under his chin you can go over a few times

 

Step 9

switch to the airbrush and increase transparacy to 50 with pen thickness on to and soften out some edges, turn off the guide now and then since the colors look softer with the guide on, darken any areas that look like they need to be

 

Step 10

be sure to save every color you use

now setting the transpacacy back to 35 select the color
R:255
G:229
B:214
and airbrush some highlights

 

Step 11

now using the fill tool fill in the color using the color
R:80
G:126
B:194

then selecting the color on transparancy 45
R:36
G:83
B:154
darken areas of the colar with the fill tool then even them out with the airbrush and hilight using
R:220
G:232
B:250
on tansparancy 45

 

Step 12

out line some areas using
R:36
G:13
B:0

click the optimize lines and select pen thickness to 1 and transparancy on 100

zoom in for a precise line
with the guide off it should look like this

 

Step 13

add grimmjow's jaw and shade it with light shades of grey

 

Step 14

when starting with the facial features observe things like the nose and eye shape

grimmjow for instence has a sharp nose
ourline the nose and mouth in the outlining color used earlier and add a offwhite color in the mouth

 

Step 15

now outline the eyebrows and eyes

note you can see how the eyes and eyebrows are different then others characters eye shapes

 

Step 16

add the whites in the eyes and on transparancy of 64 go over the irises with the backround color

 

Step 17

now using different shades of blue and black on a light transparancy detail the eyes

 

Step 18

using the color
R:31
G:191
B:213
fill in the hair and eye markings

then use darker shades and lighter shades of blue on a lighter transparancy to detail the hair using fill and airbrush

 

Step 19

add some more details, in this case i darkened some areas and added a leash on his colar ;D

 

Step 20

add more detail in places and your done =D

now you have a smexy grimmjow
