Crisis (STEP BY STEP)

This is the drawing steps of my artwork below


========
Steps:
1. Get a photo. While browsing, Accidentally I found a good photo of Shibuya city, it makes me really want to draw something on it.
2. Sketch. I sketch really roughly while lowering the opacity of the photo.
3. Lineart. Lining based on the sketch. For the monster, I just finish it right away since it's simple (too lazy to draw a dragon like in the sketch). I adjust the background color a little.
4. Base Color. Fill in base color to character with separated layer.
5. Shading. I use a simple cel shading here. I want to make both of the character and monster to stand out so I edit the background. First I erase the sky then I adjust the color until it's not so realistic. Lastly I do a color inverse. Now it has some kind of other dimension feeling like we often see in anime.
6. More Shadow. I create some energy flow first then add more shadow to the character using multiply layer.
7. Glow. The energy flow is not really stand out so I change it to black with green glow. I brush a hard light on light colors like skin, hair, etc. I make a hard light gradient from top-to-bottom with white color and from bottom-to-top with green color.
8. Finishing. Add a little sparkle here and there. Final step was to adjust color balance, tone curve, and level.
