-This to That- Kohu Commission

Description

Here's the finished image.


I really liked the sketch from this commission, So I decided to upload a "This to That" of it.
If the head looks too good to be from a rough sketch, it's because it's actually from a different version of this commission that I sketched. I had originally drawn Kohu looking behind her, I didn't like the pose, it seemed kind of lifeless to me.... So I decided to trace the head from my original drawing, and put it in a different pose. And originally she had one eye closed. Not winking, but just like she was reacting to some snow, or wind or...I dunno, her eye was closed. o0

Also, this image was cropped, there were more of her paw and legs. But it wasn't working for me during coloring and the BG, so it was cropped. Puts more focus on her face anyways.

Cool thing? My desk is made of glass, so I put a light underneath my desk, put the original sketch down, then a new paper over it, and drew a new pose, then added the head. Then I scanned and finished it in Paint tool sai/Photoshop.
I outlined,colored, and shaded in Sai, and added the finishing touches in Photoshop. with the aid of course of a wacom tablet.

I usually do some sketching around before I draw up commissions for people.

And yeah my desk is basically one big light box, and I do outline some drawings in pencil using the aid of my glass desk. I did have a light box, but it was old and slightly melted, so it was a bit awkward to draw on at times. Plus I think it was from the 70s,or 90s, I don't know, it belonged to someone else and has some years on it for sure.
In fact, I was using the inner light from that very same light box under my desk for the back light.


Derp, sometimes I make little notes on my drawings, sometimes I don't follow those little notes.

Why am I typing so much?
