What's your process, /ic/?

>>2903922
I don't do anything all day and then get sad.

>>2903922
It's like that picture, but without steps 3 - 9

>>2903922
Block in with base color
Add shadows
Add highlights
Render
Call it a day

It goes on and on and on because I fuck up everything, but I usually start having something decent (for my level of course) after a good amount of time.

>>2904349
lmfao.

>>2903922
Spending 30-40 minutes on finishing 90% of a picture, then spending 20-30 hours trying and failing to fix the last couple of mistakes.

my process for everything i make

>try not to fuck up the early stages

then the hard part begins

pick one
>don't fuck up the early stages, get too precious and can't continue
>fuck up the early stages, keep going, poland a turd

>Do a rough sketch
>Render it piece by piece
>Realize that I should have spent more time planning it out because it looks like shit
>Begrudgingly finish rendering
>Don't paint again for a month
rinse and repeat

>>2904720
Impressive.

>>2904724
>tfw did this

>>2904725
It would be, if I didn't end up failing and effectively having wasted 30 hours. It doesn't even improve my drawing skill much, because you learn by drawing something new, not by trying and failing to correct mistakes.

>>2904724
i do this but daily

>>2904724

Mine is more like:

>Do a rough sketch
>Render it piece by pi-
>Crumple into ball
>4 words appear in my head

Newsflash kermit, you're not the puppet-mastero buth rather a natural desaster to your moms vagina,
meat curtains? meet kermit the kindred killer of brain cells all around the known k-lobe, you green

fuck.
Bet your asshole is as black as a detroit supernova, sucking in all that vital black-light semen you so

desperately need to survive the coriolis effect in your fucking green eggplant of a left-turning of a

space station you textile tsunami.
You won't terraform my property either, ya green betch.
Smart? Rather dark, like the nigger cock you suck at night in the park,
high on glue, you even shot the deputy you honourless green bag of rotten molester-slant-eyed mint.
The brithish should've sown you into cowskin after forcing you to breed in a pond of native-piss for

two generationss, you hearthless monster,
killings millionso f colonist families, rading their farms at night then there were (white) women and

(black) children in that cuck-village, you jealous MONSTER!

The second I found out your mensturation-pond of origin I bought a truckload of cement and buried that

everglade-shithole of a green-pest birthing life-soup under a Adele-acre of nazi-concrete.

You have nowhere to return to now, slut.
You can run but you can't hide, frogh-snitch.

mY Stork-henchman are flying sorties day and night.
Surrender now and I may show mercy for your pityful green existence and let you live a nice quiet life

behind bars of peanut-chocolate (which I know you are allergic to).
You are wrong.

I'm desperate here, buddy

>>2907527
step one is just fucking disturbing

>>2907622
everybody says that and I don't know why, it's just a canvas-based shitpost

>>2903922
Basically that except add:
>have sketch, think it's fine
>get to about image 3-4 and realize I fucked up some facial feature
>get mad that blending looks muddy, which is generally why it looks like shit
>wonder how long it's actually supposed to take
>realize lighting is wrong
>try to fix things
>fuck it up
>restart half of drawing between 2 and 3
>eventually get to image 6
>add the lighting of image 9, but no detail
>quit
>come back to it
>want to add more
>realize the features still aren't right
>ignore drawing

I've gotten into a habit of doing thumbnails every night before I go to bed, and just practicing with sketching. I seem to be fine with that in terms of dimension, but color always fucks me up. That being said, I'm using a hard reference for once for my new drawing, so maybe that'll help get colors/lighting down.

The thin pixel outline helps add to that effect as well.
