OC PORTRAIT | INNER CITY (MANGA COMIC STYLE) + process materials
Hello Hiveans!

I hope everyone is well and taking care of themselves.

I thought I would do something totally different in style and genre since I'm always in danger of getting bored or getting a block. And so I capitulated (we use big words needlessly in this house) to an old love of mine from my childhood - Manga, and anime.

I grew up on stuff like Naruto, HunterxHunter and DBZ like every other millennial in the 2000s. But I have to say that [Bleach ](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bleach_(manga)) and the artwork of [Tite Kubo](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tite_Kubo) had a massive impression on me growing up. DBZ might have started me on drawing but it was Bleach that had me thinking about drawing/art as something worth considering as a profession. Long history short, my dad was not going to have his eldest "drawing cartoons". 


And here we are 17 years later and trying to make a thing off of it.

It was really cool revisiting a beloved medium after such a long time away with new skills and tools to bare. I should forget to mention it is less taxing on me to do something essential that doesn't require too much focus, as I'm still recovering and regularly need breaks.

<h2>PROCESS MATERIAL</h2>

<h3>Sketches</h3>

On my last portrait post I mentioned I'd be incorporating facial structure stuff in the preliminary sketch phase but in this instance I was a little wheezy because of the  cyclizine that I just went straight to sketching with out a planar structure.

<h3>Outlining and Inking</h3>

I then went on to do outlining and inking which I thoroughly enjoyed. Yes! more thank you!

<h3>Shadows and Lighting</h3>

In this last stage, I just apply the shadow values, moving lower in exposure to deepen the shadow. And then I went on to finish off with the lighting and highlights, which didn't need any subtle work or anything like that.

The background on the finished piece is one of many that are available on IbisPaintX to use for free.

These days I see myself using chromatic aberration a lot and I don't think I'll be stopping anytime soon too. Here I just used it as a cheap effect but I have so many ideas on how to apply it in not so obvious ways, like I did on the [Bellanera](https://peakd.com/hive-156509/@deadsparrow/oc-portrait-or-bellanero-magazine-cover-style-process-material) piece from a couple of days ago.
