Lucy heartfilia (Fairytail) Drawing tut

1

Draw the head.It is a bit pointy for an anime girl.

2

Fo this step;You can use guidelines for the eyes.But if you are experienced enough You can draw without guidelines if you can spot the eye position.

3

Eyes,Then nose. This is a 3/4 face ,So the nose is closer to the left eye. As for the mouth,It is placed in the middle of distance between the chin and the nose. PS:If you noticed tgat the mouth is different from the main image ;Wait until the final   

4

Now for the hair.This may be the easiest part to draw.Just use a thin brush with lower opacity of what you used for the face elements and draw bangs as you're going in one sided direction.

5

Continue the hair. Remember to leave space between the head and the top of the hair.The hair in this tut is blown by the wind to the left So the ponytail hairdo should be in the same direction too. And draw the neck with the same shade of "Smoked pi   

6

Create a layer underneath the lineart lauer.That layer is for coloring.

7

Shade the sides with a big low opacity brush.And with a darker shade than the color you drew the face outline with. Remember that you are on the coloring layer.

8

Color the rest with a highlighting color with even a lower opacity for the brush.For the color pick a really light almost with-ish color shade. Then return to the lineart layer and darken the face outlines .After that (Still on the lineart layer),Bl   

9

Now for tge hair coloring.I don't advice using the bucket tool.Instead use a highlight brush. This is in the coloring layer. And color the eye and hair bow. For the bow you can color then use dodge tool to make it in harmony with the light.

10

After that ,And to give hair a better look ,Use even a lighter brush or the dodge tool to higlight parts where you imagine light can be.

11

At last ,Do some retouches. Like I found tgat this mouth is more lucy-like so i changed it. For the lips ,Use the orange skin color and do an elliptical shape around the lips then place a white dot on the under-lip

12

Finally ,For background you can put anything you like.Personnaly I made the Bg out of a brish I created using iphone artstudio. Device:Iphone -artstudio Materials:Brush Without ref Hope you like it!!!
