Egg Hunt - Process

1. I started with a very rough thumbnail.

2. Following the general layout, with some changes, I go back and work out the proportions and perspective more accurately and toy with ideas for the outfit but without worrying about the detail yet.

3. Now I do a more detailed sketch, working out the the body, clothing, and props.

4. Inking. I use a variable-width inking brush for the characters and a constant-width brush for hard things on vector layers. I use lots of different layers for...

Cake Is Yummy - Process

1. I started with a very rough thumbnail.

2. Following the general layout, with some changes, I go back and work out the proportions and perspective more accurately but without worrying about the detail yet. I hand-wrote the lettering, the used distortion to match the perspective.

3. Now I do a more detailed sketch, working out the the body, clothing, and props.

"For your birthday, we were going to have a woman popping out of a cake but we didn't have a hollow cake or a woman so we improvised. You don't mind the substitution, do you? You certainly look comfortable."

April Fool's Bride - Process

1. I started with a very rough thumbnail.

2. Following the general layout, with some changes, I go back and do a more detailed sketch, working out the the body, clothing, and props.

3. Inking. I use a variable-width inking brush for the characters and a constant-width brush for hard things on vector layers. I use lots of different layers for different parts, which makes it easier to overdraw and erase as needed. I also went ahead of inked the shape for the eyelashes because the brush sta...

April Fool's Bride

"Ah, you got me! But... uh... the honeymoon is already paid for and it seems like a shame to let it go to waste so you can lift the hypnosis after that or maybe a few months from now or, you know what, I'll call you. Bye!"

From a suggestion by HinaYui.

PSA: Just to be clear. This is not a transgender bride. This is a cisgender guy who has been hypnotized into being a bride. Transgender people are not "fooling" anyone. Transgender people are being most honest with you when they present as...

Helping the Maid - Process

1. In Manga Studio, I start with a very rough thumbnail sketch with big fat pencils. The fat pencils force me to keep the sketch loose without getting too caught up in the details. Only after I work out the pose do I rough in some ideas for the clothing and props.

2. Final sketch. Now I go back and do a more detailed sketch, working out the the body, clothing, and props.

3. Inking. I use a variable-width inking brush for the characters and a constant-width brush for hard things on vector...
