Description

Finally I went back to this old drawing of mine and decided to colour it. Please go easy on me, this is the first time I've tried to do anything CGiedish. Hope you like it.

Kairi belongs to Square Enix.
Fanart belongs to Adriana Vazquez.

asked me how I did the effect on Kairi's skin, so I figured, might as well tell you how I did it. I used Alias Sketchbook from the creators of Photoshop, because my tablet doesn't have photoshop, but it's just as nice.

First I cleaned up the scan. Then I colored the skin with just one skin tone. Then I started playing with different skin tones with the airbrush until I found the ones I wanted, In order to make it look smooth, I made sure to not apply too much pressure on the edges in between two different shades, that gives them the effect that they are blending.

For the hair I used the airbrush with one tone in order to see where I was going to be working on. Afterwards I switched to the pencil tool and reduced its opacity to about 20% so it could sorta look like a tiny airbrush, but not really one. I played, again, with different tones while keeping in mind where my source of light was coming from.

For the eyes I used the pencil tool to define the eyelashes, and the airbrush for the light on the eyes.

Finally for the lips, I used the pencil to define the tones, and I used a light tone with the airbrush on the lips to make them seem more smooth.

Oh that's very well done, it almost has a realistic touch to it with the full lips and with the way the eyes are squinted like that. Real cute almost. I really like the way you detailed her hair, too.
