I decided to make this blog alive again by posting my previous pieces, but with steps and some tutorials. I hope my posts will help some people who needs them :).

Firstly, these are the brushes that I always use mostly for all of my work:
painting-soft and painting-sharp

Maybe most of you would notice that the 1st brush is a basic brush given by Adobe Photoshop. What I did to the 2nd brush was just a simple click on the “Shape DynamiC” in the brush presets window:shapedynamic

So that’s my main basic knowledge and here’re the steps:
1. Sketch
1

Tools used: brush 2

2. Base Color
2
Tools used: Fill and brush no 2.

3. Shading and light direction

3

Tools used: Brush 1 & 2 and a basic airbrush soft-basic

This step is the most important step for deciding where the darker shades and light source would fall.

4. Paint Over

Brush 1 & 2 and a custom brush I made myself for the leaves leafs (find out more by always following my blog ;->)

I made a normal layer on top of the sketch layer and just do a paint over to give an opaque  painting style. By this point, I don’t have to worry about the shade and light composition, because I already did that in my previous step.

5. Finalizing

Some addition to the leaves and done. Weird perspective on the cup, but I was done ( I mean lazy LOL)

Thanks for reading :).
