    Hi arnisd! Unfortunately I don't have any process screenshots or anything for that one, but I can try to offer some advice at the very least!

    It's been a few years since I've drawn it, but I do remember using a few different custom-made brushes in Photoshop that I've created - the short and taller grasses specifically. Creating your own brushes is such a wonderful PS feature and really helps you to save time on whatever it is you're working on.

    Something else I'd like to mention is to start off with your base colors - whether it be through characters, objects, or even the surrounding scenery - and then work on giving your subject dimension by way of shadows, highlights, and so forth. In this case I started off focusing on just a small clump of grass, and once I had the shading and rough highlights in, I duplicated the same grass clump many times over throughout the scene in order to achieve what I wanted. It also helps to skew each group a bit - shrink it, squash it, reflect it, etc. You'll create the illusion of variation! And again, you'll save time. Remember, sometimes it's best to work smarter, not harder!

    Of course, you may still want to take that extra bit of time to add in some detailing maunally, without any tricks. It depends on the situation. At least, that's what I've found out through the years.

    There's soooo much more that I could cover, but that was all off the top of my head at the moment. Regardless, I hope this helps you!

    I swear these are beyond movie poster quality. You've got some CRAZY level of quality there! And yeah, I agree having custom Photoshop brushes is a major help.

    Epic work again, you awesome art savant!

    Mhmm figured you'd start from a base color and then do shading, hadn't thought of copy pasting a patch before. Custom brushes are indeed probably helpfull. I can say it helped :p, to what extend I don't know really xD

    Wowww beautiful art! I especially love the Halloween one! The lighting is really nice. It was cool reading about how you do the grass! Great to see that you're still drawing and better than ever! :)

    Thanks again Neo, that's very kind of you to say! ^^

    Yes, I love experimenting with brushes and discovering the fun effects that they can create. Someday if I remember to I'll post a screenshot or two of some of my favorite brushes to use while I'm working!

    Nice to see you again Sarah! Thank you!! I loved working on that Halloween drawing.. shading and highlighting have to be my favorite part of the drawing process. I love the challenge that it can bring.

    Thanks for viewing my artwork! o/
