[Traditional Art] Candy Dancer

Here's a little dancer girl, she's meant to be a child. I did my best to keep her flat-chested, any lumps you see up top are wrinkles from the top part of the dress!  She took me about 3 days to color, mainly because I kept stopping to take pictures for another coloring process post but I don't think I'll do it, I can't remember everything I did in order since it took so long and so much stuff! 

Anyways here she is! And you can see the inking process here.

Enjoy!

Inking Process - Candy Dancer - Not a Tutorial

Inking Process - Candy Dancer - Not a Tutorial

In this post I will take you through how I inked this drawing.
Hello! I was going to go through in detail how I sketched too but since I didn't think of that until I drew on the clothes which is near the end of the sketching of the person so, I don't really have enough to say "this is my sketch process";  I'll just gloss over it for now.

Sketching:

First I sketched out the girl.

 Then I added some more details to her clothes (lace, ribbon, a pattern etc..), along with a basic background.

 Added some more details, like the bow on the lollipop and the leaves on the rose below the girl and that's the basic idea for the sketching process.

Inking:

I started from the top down in the inking process; Until otherwise stated I'm using a 01 Prismacolor assorted pen in black.  

First I started on her hair on her head, then I inked her face; Moving on I inked her loose hair then her shirt area of her dress, and the bow.

Next I inked the first two layers of her dress and her waist.

This part is simply stated but one of the most time consuming parts of the process; I inked the last layer of her dress, notice how it matches the top part of the dress. 

Next  I moved on to inking her legs, feet, arms and hands. 

Now on to the background: I inked the background with a 03 Prismacolor assorted pen.

I fixed up the outlines of parts of the dancer girl with the 03 pen to make it have more depth.

 And that's my inking process!  (I used GIMP to make the image pure black and white without all the shadows of the camera.)

I hope this has been at least a basic idea to help you get started if you don't know how, or at least semi interesting, it's not quite the verbal inensity that you might have expected with explanation but I hope it's good for something. 

May God Bless you, Your Family, Friends; Along With The Health Of Yourself, Family, And All Who Know You. ~ Amen
