Also wow - I admire how you can find the patience to do all those details and steps and wow let me just lie here in a corner making whimpering noises beacuse howwwwwww???
It's true I spent quite a long time on this one (10 hours perhaps ?) but I don't do this for all my pictures :). Sometimes I just improvise, or work after a reference so it's much quickier. You find on the web videos of artists who begin their drawing in a little corner, without having setched anything before, and then improvise a whole, detailed, awesome illustration... Now, THIS is really sorcery :)
And there's no patience needed (I'm the least patient person in the world ^^), since it's basically... fun ! For every step :)
This is amazing! It's always such a trip to see digital art being born, it looks so precise because you can hide the layers which are sketchy and messy and just have a good layer with the finished linework on it.
I love that! The disappearance of the curtain between step 4 and 5 is really interesting - it's made a huge difference to the finished art! The end result is gorgeous! Thanks for sharing this! ♥
Yes, digital drawing is not really easier because if you can't draw with a pencil you won't be able to it with a tablet either - it's actually much harder than it looks :) But it allows you to try many things, to search a lot for what you want your picture to look like in the end, so it's a very good exercise, and very rewarding in the end. The best thing for me with digital art is that I have no more fear to fail, no more dread of that damn line which will spoil all my hard work. It had always blocked me before. With traditional drawings you would need to make several versions of the same pic to get the same kind of experience, which would be pretty frustrating (and I've always hated to remake drawings from scratch :) )
But I do love drawing traditionally too. Just, nothing as ambitious (yet).
also, yes, the curtain : it seemed to me I needed it to make Peggy the focus of the drawing and to fill in the background - right until the end when it appeared the lighting and shadows did the job. In the enf the curtain seemed to weightened the compo. So I gave it up :)

It feels so self-centered, to speak about myself like this, though :)
