Detailed areas

From here on I go step by step into more and more detail. I choose additional colours for areas like the mouth, nose and ears. For the mask and body, I start using a slightly lighter colour to highlight the individual body parts. Next, I use the Smudge tool in Procreate to smudge the individual colour areas to create smooth transitions. Once I have all the colours defined, I start shading. In this step I usually hide the guides because I don’t need them to see the proportions anymore.
