THANK YOU!

I always love step-by-steps, heh. Definitely a very useful read for many people, you can never press that first bit (the importance of good preparation and thumbnails) enough to be honest. So many people just jump the gun and find themselves having to fix a half-polished piece reluctantly.

The only thing that bothered me a little bit, which surprisingly I thought looked -way- stronger in your thumbnail (so I guess you did have the right idea but just polished it out a little) was how when I first looked at the piece, I thought the shaman and the demons were of the same side and that the guy doing the magic was summoning them or rallying them, so to speak. In your thumbnail, it's immediately clear that the magic cast is separating him from the demons, that it has force to it and will blast them away. In the finished piece, it's kind of a gentle flow. Still a clear boundary but it's definitely lost it's force. I though that was a bit of a shame (it may also have to do with the fact that the shaman has the same skin color just with more decorations; I thought he was of a higher rank or something at first). That's pretty much it though, love the composition and how everything leads us to the shaman's mask. Of course it being your art there's a pleasant amount of glowiness and sparkliness to it that really makes it pop . Love the musculature too and the hands looks really convincing! For some reason badly drawn hands can really throw me off in some pieces but you nailed them in this one .

Even the sketchs are awesome !

Thank you!

I love a good walkthrough that also explains the through processes and everything along with the actual steps of the image. Thanks for the insight!

Wow thanks for sharing! Do you zoom into your drawing often for other things besides the main focus or do you stay out a certain distance to get the right shapes in and less detailed in comparison?

Good one! and thanks for the walkthrough
