Digital Painting Workflow

1. First of all, a rough sketch is drawn by using a Wacom tablet directly in the Photoshop canvas. I did not scan the hand-drawn sketches because I wasn't satisfied with the design in the first place.

2. Outlines are traced with both vector path and 4px fixed-width raster brush.

3. The shapes are then filled with base colors by using brush and magic wand tool.

4. Shadows are then added in clip-masked layers.

5. After that, the outlines are filled with colors.

6. Lastly, some final touch-ups are added to fill in every corner of the composition.
