Male Fashion Illustration - My complete narrated process - Part 2

Hey guys so I'm back and this is part 2 of my video which is my narrated process of how I draw a male fashion illustration and yeah so let's get started I don't really have a lot to say about the inking of this particular illustration I mean I touched on it in my previous video which was a complete narrated process of how I draw a female fashion illustration and it's basically the same technique I used the same fine liner so that's the same material I don't really know what else to say but I guess I could kinda emphasize that how I ink is I usually do the outlines first and then the details kind of last it's just the same concept as sketching I mean you block in the shades first and then you kind of just fix it up a little bit make it and all that kinda stuff so that's the same as inking I mean my inking processes I usually start with the outline and then I do the face which requires a lot of details as well as the hair so those kinda become last and also the last few things that I do when I'm inking usually is because I tend to make mistakes I try to make my lines as neat as possible the edges as sharp or you know as precise but that doesn't always happen so I end up going back into them at the final stage of inking and just kind of adjusting them making them look as if they were not an accident at all so yeah so we've reached the coloring stage other this illustration and it's quite different from how I did it with my previous videos where I either used Copic Markers and kinda just touched up a little bit with the color pencils or if I've only used color pencils. With this one actually combine the two and they're both equally used throughout the entire illustration and what I did is I usually start off with a base layer or a first layer and thats using the Copic Markers. Most the time i'd usually not care if the layer was really streaky cause Copic Markers are really expensive and I wanna not waste a whole lot of ink as much as possible so I kinda just make its streaky cause if I want to achieve a smooth flat surface that kind of wastes a lot of ink and in the end I'm going to be covering that layer with a whole I am color pencils anyway so yeah. I'm just doing that for the entire clothing and the skin of this figure also I'm just kinda adding in some shades just to kinda indicate where I'm going to be placing the darker areas later with my color pencils and yeah. So now I'm coloring in using the color pencils and I am coloring in the skin and as you can see the first layer actually has a lot white and it just has like this little bit of flesh tint to it which is different from the shirt because how a colored in the shirt and the shorts and the shoes they're all flat but with this one the reason is I am running out or slowly running out of skin color so my favorite ones are actually dead like I try to use them because sometimes I hope that there is still a little bit ink left in them but it's really squeaky and I get scared so I don't use it anymore because I don't wanna ruin the nib that just means having to replace the nib and that means having to by a nib and that means having to spend money and I don't really want to do that so I'm kind of just using the other skin colors that I have and they're also almost dying so to minimize the usage of ink as much as possible I just kinda indicate where the shadows and where the dark areas are going to be because in the end as I said they're going to be covered with a whole lot a layer of color pencils anyway so right now I am coloring in the top of this fashion illustration and I kind of touched on the technique that I used to colour in with a medium in my previous video which was narrated video I think of how it draw fashion illustration using only color pencils as the medium and the brand is Faber-Castell I'll put all the names or brands have things that I use for this particular illustration in my description box in case any of you guys are wondering yeah so the proper names are going to be in in the downbar. How I usually color in with the medium is as what I said in my previous video through layers like I cannot emphasize enough how much I love playing with layers I love creating different shades of colors through layers it's just awesome and it's like therapeutic in a way cause you start of really soft and then you kinda just build up gradually getting darker in the shades and once you're in the kind of final layers with the color pencils then you start to press hard and is just kind of like a release its pretty cool I have no idea how to explain it but I like using coloring pencils so yeah I guess that's about it I don't really know what else to say because I'm going to be expanding this anyway in an actual tutorial video which is actually coming up next so that's not next Friday but the Friday after next Friday yeah so is going to be a tutorial on coping markers but don't expect it to be too advance or anything because I haven't really experimented with Copic Markers so it's going to be like for beginner which is what a lot on my tutorials are actually and yeah so that's about it
