This is the last panel of the chapter I’ve been posted so far of my webtoon. I wanted to put my best effort in it. Expectation was high and so was disappointment. So I redrew that face a dozen of times…
I recently found AI images were very easy to read and manifest clearly some fundamentals I lack. So I tried to capture what I enjoy in them.
The guy looked dumb and ugly and I made so many tries at redrawing him… here are some trial and errors…
Then I realized squinting my eyes, shadow and light were distinguished clearly… values were too much scattered.
So I added a darkening layer to separate shadow clearly.
As obvious as it may seem (I hope it does), I had to force myself doing this. At first I thought this was really a wrong move but I decided to trust the theory more… so it felt like a blind jump…
Fast forward because I have too much steps…
