9 STEPS TO HOPE

This is the first time that I put my progress on DA.Try to make a close step to the real time drawing. Here is the 9 steps to HOPE 

This Progress is based on Photoshop and Paint Tool SAI
STEP 1  Create first layer ( I name it Line Layer ) and draw the rough sketch of the Character 
STEP 2  Paint the outline area of the character in order to use with magic wand ( in this step create a new layer under the the first layer )
After this step you might reduce the opacity of Line Layer, it may be helpful in Colorize Step because you can see though the line more clearly. 
STEP 3  Begin to Colorize with a plain color tone on skin and cloth ( I recommend dark tone for this step, so you can put brighter tone on the following step )
STEP 4  Add some details ; for example, eyes, mouth, nose and hat's fur. ( with brighter color )
STEP 5  Draw all the small details of fur on cloth with brighter color and paint the shade of the face.
STEP 6  Use brush to add more color tone to each part, for instance brown tone on the cloth and dark yellow on the hat.
STEP 7  Hide or Delete the line layer. 
STEP 8  Draw the hair ( Use Large brush for main area of hair and very tiny brush for detailed hair to make it more realistic )
STEP 9  Add some snow texture and Glare on the part that light touches with brush that look like Spray, this is my favorite step of all. ( if you put more glare, it make the drawing more dreamy ) 
And it's finally done!! Thank you for catching up with my 9 steps. Hope it might be some helpful to you guys.
