This guide was made for entry: Neast In Contest: aliens
step 1 of 5
I accidentally already uploaded these into my images/album, but... I started with a Pen and just put it to the paper and Neast came out. there was no pencil underlay and I had no idea what I'd draw until I was done.
step 2 of 5
I did an underlay of mostly shadows and quickly colored in his skull helmet (prismacolor pencils)
step 3 of 5
I did a bit more underlays and then put on his overtone, adding a few accent to his skull mask and spots
step 4 of 5
Put on some highlights and smoothed out the pencil, adding details here and there
step 5 of 5
I then did a quick ground for him to stand on. If I take another 15 minutes to tighten it up he'd be great.
