Hey guys this is book to help you reach your fullest potential in being an artist. You may know me as Katherine181201 a artist on Wattpad. So today I'm going to go through the steps I did for my front cover.
Step 1: select a model or reference as a guide to what you want to draw. For this I took a selfie in the pose I wanted. (Warning make sure your pose is on the same side you want to draw as. The horns are on the wrong side)

Step 2: trace or sketch your outline. Add in details you want. (Guidelines will help with free hand)

Step 3: erase your outline until it is faint. (If not done it can affect blending). Then start with the skin tones, placing darker shades after and bend. (Use a cotton tip or tissue for clean cheap blend)

Step 4: colour in the face and extras, once again light colours first than darker. Use a sharp pencil for small details.

Step 5: colour in hair and clothes. This is found to be the harder part. For this apply base colour, blend, and continue until happy. Next use darker colours to do outline or major curves, blend and continue. Hopefully this helps!

Step 6: sign work. Add in small detail such as touch ups, shadows, highlights and shimmer!
