Making of 'Black Lightning'

Hello everybody ｡ ヽ(*・ω・)ﾉ

It's been a long time since I made my last blog entry ｡ Now it's finally time for a new one! I decided to write my blog in English from now on! I hope my English skills are not too bad ｡ o(╥﹏╥)o
I'll do my best!

Some days ago I worked on a redesign of my original character 'Black Lightning' ｡

Black Lightning is a cyborg-cat with electric power ｡ I created her when I was around 16 years old ｡ At that time she looked like this:

Back then she was an android, but I decided to change her into a cyborg-cat, so I can create more personalitiy on her look and character ｡ I replaced the huge claws with motorcycle tires and screws ｡ They're perfect for her element and I think they make her design look more special ｡ (●´∀｀●)

Now I'll show you step by step how I worked on this picture ｡ It was hard work and it took a long time, but I had lots of fun while working on this piece ｡

First step: Drawing a rough sketch ｡
Second step: Working out the details ｡
Third step: Inking the lines with black ink ｡
Fourth step: Starting colouring with the palest tone of each colour on the picture ｡
Fifth step: Adding the shadows ｡
Sixth step: Drawing the background ｡
Seventh step: Adding light reflection with opaque white (if necessary) ｡

How I coloured the motorcycle tires:

Done ｡ (⌒▽⌒)ノ♥

I hope you liked my little making of and my character Black Lightning ｡  (〃￣ω￣〃ゞ
By the way!!! I'm only working with traditional media, which includes ink, copic marker, coloured pencils and sometimes watercolours.

See you ♥
