Utauloid_Ruko

Im a hardcore/ diehard Vocaloid fan aka a Vocatard. If u hate them, i suggest u leave and dont read this post.
Love me, hate me... whatever. 



Another Vocaloid fanart, but Ruko Yokune is not an authentic Vocaloid, she is a Utauloid. Not sure what it is? Go Google it. XD
I like Ruko cos of her spunky style and attitude, plus i love her hair too.
Was feeling bored so i decided to do a step-by-step kinda thing, just to show u how i colour my work.
But this is not my usual colouring style either. I usually colour a particular part and shade that part right after that. 
In this process, i coloured all base first then only shaded it as to show easier step-by-step.



Started out with rough sketch as any normal artist would do. Messy eh? DX
Err... the diff colours of sketch lines is so that i can differentiate which line belongs to which part. Its very confusing, i know. Only i will know what is what. haha~



Then, i cleaned up the lines and did the outline. I hate this part the most cos im an amateur at using a tablet, so i can barely draw straight lines.
Added a background colour as to see if there are any left outs from any colouring i've done. Especially for light/pastel colours eg white, peach etc~



I like to start out with the skin. I prefer it this way. Then, with the hair, clothes and lastly, the eyes.
Some artists love colouring the eyes 1st but i dont. I colour the rest of the body so that i can determine which eye colour suits best for my chara.
Pic at the side for colour/clothes reference.



This is where the base colour are done. This part is mostly boring and tedious cos its just colouring a pic with no challenge.


Challenge arises when shading part comes. I did not PrtSc my shadings cos i was too lazy to do it.XD
So, after 1and a half days of hardwork, it looks something like this. Added the bg and the name.
Time was not on my side so i did not bother experimenting with the bg. T____T
