• Canvas Prep/Rough Sketch

  Layers Used:

  Canvas Background layer

  Rough Sketch layer

  With a neutral colored background, I just draw up a rough sketch of the character's shape.

• Fine Sketch

  Layers Used:

  Fine Sketch layer

  Then I sketch over the rough sketch with a finer sketch to lay out more details.

• Lineart

  Layers Used:

  Foreground Folder -> Lineart layer

  Then I simply lineart over the sketches. I played around with two different sizes of lining.

• Base/Primary Color

  Layers Used:

  Foreground Folder -> Base/Primary Color layer

  Select all areas outside of the character parameters with the contiguous "wizard" selection tool, invert the selection, then fill the area with the character's primary color.

• Detail Color

  Layers Used:

  Foreground Folder -> Detail Colors Folder -> (Folder's color layers)

  Add in the other color details.

• Background/Final Check/Final Result

  Layers Used:

  Canvas Background layer

  Outline layer

  (Various layers)

  I add in a gradient background. Then for the white outline, I select the base color in the base color layer using the contiguous selection tool with the Limit to Current Layer option on and the Grow/Shrink Selection set to 15, and select the base color. Then in a separate layer (an Outline layer) fill the area with a white color.

Finally, I check over the icon for any errors. And then the drawing is done!

Thank you and hope you like it!
