Why thank you!! “Incredible” is exaggerating for my drawings pal! Though I sincerely appreciate your kindness and thought :D

First off, I need to tell you that my process changes RAPIDLY. I insert or take out steps depending on what I’m trying to learn. Like for coloring, I used to test, mix, and alter every color on different layers using filters and layer modes, but my eyes got so used to picking out the colors I needed and I’m much more confident in my color schemes, I pretty much just mix and match it as I go along. If you want to study anatomy more, you should spend way more time sketching the bone structures first, and THEN start drawing. You don’t have to do the same process forever! Just until you’re comfortable and confident in it.

Also I depend heavily on my 4 main coloring brushes with different blending, opacity, thickness, and bristle patterns so any kind of “effect” looking thing I do is just me using these 4. 

Here’s an example of my tutorial LIKE thing I did a while back. My sketches became even more loose than I have here and I don’t explain the washing and minor color adjustments here, but it’s part of the tedious coloring process, nothing special.

My BEST advice for you is to stop wasting your time on tutorials like this! LOL. It’s interesting to see how others work, but instead, study art histories and theories. There’s no right or wrong way to draw something. As long as you like the final outcome, because honestly, that’s all what people are going to see and that’s the only thing that matters. Also, the more you draw, and reaaaaaaaally pay attention on improving every drawing after another, you WILL get better! Why are you still reading this?! OPEN A GOD DAMN CANVAS (or grab a piece of paper)! D8 BEGONE WITH YOU!
