Style Exploration – Digital Paint with Dark Inked Lines

This was reffing a photo on pinterest; I wanted to refocus on how I want to handle stylizing figures.

I am slowly starting to nail down a process – there’s a rough sketch, a rough colour, inks, and then selection-based painting.

For this piece I did it 100% in procreate, which means using their slightly jankier selection tools, but I think for the rough expressive style it worked out fine.
