Chibi Portraits for commission

So im practicing drawing chibi kawaii Comissions and also i m making a commission sheet too so i thought i might as well tell how i did this one.

First of all it all starts with a reference i chose a very different pose of a Korean model drew the chibi body according to it. I then made the lineart for her hair shirt and skirt along with the socks .

Next i made more details to the shirt and i made her shoes .If you're a beginner it won't be this refined i have done this with like basic shapes rough line art then the refined one for everything and that's how it is until you learn to do it without the rough sketches.

I then added her eyes and the smile.

As we all know after the line art process comes the coloring and i colored everything with flat colors and i used a dark color for the line art too like for hair its darker shade of brown for skins its a darker shade to the skin tone .

After that i just zoomed on my reference and colored everything then i realized her hair should be a bit more redish brown so i saturated that a bit.

Now for the shading i added shadows with a dark red color i used an air brush and added it to the skin n everything hair shoes etc and guasian blurred it

Now i added the highlights to the skin so it looks like its gleaming while her hair too i used a water color wet brush to the hair and smudged it set the layer to add in layer blending mode.

Lastly added a yellow gradient background and my chibi characters shadow . Because im making a portfolio right now im drawing its as similar to the reference

I hope you all like it. Thanks for the Support ❤️
