Yuzu (STEP BY STEP)

This is the drawing steps of my artwork below


========
Steps:
1. Sketch. Sketch the pose, composition, and design.
2. Lineart. I use airbrush for lining instead of a pen so the lineart was a bit soft. The background was still a sketch.
3. Base Color. Fill in base color to the character on separated layers. I finish the sky since it's simple.
4. Shading. I shade (with 2 shading colors) on new layer above the base colors. Sometimes I add some multiply layer above the shade layer to give some gradient.
5. Lighting. Lighting the character and the ball.
6. BG. Finishing the BG...then blur it because I don't really need a detailed background here.
7. Glow. Adding glow using hard light around the character & ball. If you notice, I also transform the ball here so it looks more round...
8. Finishing. I adjust color balance, level, and tone curve.
