First it started with small drawing in pchat.
Then I upped the size by 2 in Photoshop.
Using openCanvas I redid the lines to make them smoother and hopefully look better.
I always start with the skin, just getting the basics down for it with very little smoothing out on the rough parts of the coloring.
Next I added some pale pink around her lip area, then I colored her eyes.
Now for the clothing. I chose brown, a color I'm not used to. She's an elf who lives in the forest so no color really worked for her. I figured she'd have a deer skin shirt or something...
Last I did her hair and beads. It was the first time I used this way on coloring hair. This was probably the part that took me the longest to do.
I know it was probably boring but this is how I got the picture from start to finish. ^^
