Process:

Art program: FireAlpaca

File Format: GIF

Brushes used: Standard pen brush, Airbrush, Cloud brush and watercolor brush (included with program).

Time taken: 4 hours

Steps:

1 - Sketch

I did it free-hand, and after sketching realized I needed an in-between, so I added the frame and began the lining process. (Time taken: 1 hour)

2 - Lining

Simply just a sort of clean-up of the sketch. (1 hour)

3 - Coloring

Colored each frame, had to make some lineart adjustments so the coloring wouldn’t look weird. (time taken: 1 hour, 30 minutes)

4 - Background and shading

Added some simple shading along with a mountain and cloud background. (time taken: 30 minutes.)
