For the sake of professionalism I am going to make a specific portfolio post. I have have uploaded some of these before but this way I can send work to agencies and start doing this more for a living hopefully.

Did this for a personal project, the idea is that using flash I can show words for various pieces of clothing in different languages.

Process

Drawing stuff is pretty simple, aside from motivation and practice, but i wanted to show the basic way I do this,

I usually start with a pencil sketch. Depending on how much I know what I am drawing before hand, this can take anywhere between 10 minutes and an hour. Complexity has a factor in it as well, this one took about 45 minutes.

After that I scan it and start inking, though I'll admit that about 80% of stuff I scan never get past that point. Inking is easy enough but if you want it to be really smooth you have to take is really slow. I personally prefer a more natural look to my lines, as long as they still look good I don't mind if they are a bit jittery. Again depending on complexity, this can take about 30-45 minutes. Also this step almost always guarantees that I will make a finished piece if I do it.

Coloring takes longer, I start with rough flat colors and then attempt to shade them, Once the shading looks good I attempt to erase all the coloring that is outside the lines and make sure everything looks good, detail gets added as well. Overall this process can take anywhere from 1 to 4 hours.

Backgrounds allow for more creativity, but can be daunting when you aren't sure what to put there. Because of this they also vary the most in time. I can put together a rough easy background in a few minutes, but it looks genuinely rough and is mostly there so pictures don't look flat, a more complex one like this can take a couple hours, I treat these backgrounds like water colors, placing colors in ways that look good but are more natural, this is why I don't usually have lines in them

So there you go, I don't know how helpful this will be but it should at least allow people to figure out the answer to the question "how do you do this?" 

Randoms

On top of everything else, more random stuff. Man I uploaded alot of stuff here today, but its for a good cause,
