WIP : Jaded heart

Inspiration comes from Jade, as the title: a girl with a jaded heart

I (basically) just want to make some diferrent drawing, something that refect both sadness and beauty inside. I use SAI for making sketch and lineart, all coloring progress done in Photoshop.

i made the sketch, i spend 1 hour just to brainstorming with sketch and concept

and make the lineart

i start to color the skin and then i color the yukata

i make the face detail : eyes, make up, more shadows. I add white to the pearl

I add shadow in the pearl, make it more 3D, coloring the flower in up-right side, and start to draw the yukata's detail. I spend a whole day to draw those pattern

done with the yukata, i add the water reflection,copypaste the yukata's and use smude tool to wrap it. I decide to make a butterlfy as her accesories and i also use a complex pattern from PS brush in the background.

i add the glowing effect, in everywhere. I use 'color balance' to make the entire picture more like a jade color. i blur some parts, sharpen the entire picture in the last and...

done!
