Painting Process for "Best Friends: Wartortle and Frogadier"
TelltaleFirebrand asked how I did the wave for Best Friends: Wartortle and Frogadier, and I thought it'd be easier if I dug up some wip images. Then I thought, since I have them open, why not make another process image out of them.
In terms of technique, after I drew the rough sketch, the wave was painted by laying down the rough colors I had chosen, influenced by several different surfing pictures I liked (influenced by, not color dropped or copied), then slowly built up the details. Midway through the painting it looked too light to me, so I added darks for contrast, then continued cleaning it up and building up the details. I hope this explanation is a little helpful, I feel like I'm not doing a great job explaining haha (maybe it's the fatigue). Hopefully with the images it makes sense.
As always, feel free to ask if you have any questions, and I'll do my best to answer. :)

Oh? Interesting that that is the one you enjoy; to be honest out of the three I have uploaded, it is my least favorite XD I definitely plan to keep painting, but with so many final projects at school and my new job, it has been almost impossible to make any solid headway. But thank you for the compliment! I really do appreciate it!!
Your gallery is really strong, especially for painting for only a year! :)
Once the rough colors are done, I will usually just make a new layer on top of everything and paint on that, this way I can preserve the steps. :) If the file becomes too large (if it slows my computer too much), then I'll flatten it and paint over it. I'll usually save it as a new file, so the old file will keep the steps.
