1. This is the VERY first sketch. Very messy and to someone else some of the lines don't make complete since. The idea is still forming and like a little babe must be nurtured to it's true potential.

2. This is the second sketch. Drawn over the first sketch, this is the time clothes or accessories are added on. The lines are cleaned up and things make since. The idea is forming and becoming more solid.

3. The final lines. Things become more solid and it's starting to come together nicely. In this is the prior step the anatomy is fixed up a bit to look more appropriate.

4. Coloring the character! The colors are flat and neatly kept in the lines. Very little blurring used except the fade colors together.

5. A background is added and the character isn't touched at all. This could be one of the longest steps depending on what sort of background is being made. Different tools are used in this process.

6. Shading is added to the character. This is a fairly new style of shading, but so far it's worked out great! The background is adjusted some and it's finalized. Picture is now done!
