Share your character illustration!

Whether you’re sketching your character's pose or adding the finishing touches, we want to see your progress.

Some questions to consider as you create your illustration:

How did you combine traditional and digital materials?
Which parts of your sketch did you finalize digitally? Which did you leave for inking or paint?
What mood do you want to establish with your color palette?
What's the focal point of your piece?

Whether you follow Yana’s process exactly or adapt it and make it your own, be sure to share your work in the project gallery — we can’t wait to see what you come up with!
