Hello and no problem! Always happy to answer questions♥
I actually did redraw the whole panel! I also extended the brick background because it had a very easy pattern to follow so it wasn’t too difficult integrating that into the finished linework;
You can download my inks here if you’d like to try coloring them! (I do apologize, Dabi is in a thinner line weight since I inked him first but it isn’t too noticable if you color him with darker clothing orz)
If you’re really into trying out new styles or learning how a mangaka inks, redrawing things by hand is always a great way to learn their process and shapes and help you develop a better grasp of how they draw anatomy etc. Take away what you find influential from they style through the process if you enjoy it and add it to your own artwork!
here is my coloring process;
-get the linework finished!
- Color the background first! It is the most influential part of your piece because it helps you figure out what lighting you want to use on your characters.
- Add in character flats. This is also the easiest layer to add texture to clothing or hair, etc (i.e. Dabi’s jacket, shirt, and raw flesh, Toga’s eye circles)
- Add a layer above your flats to color in character/object shadow values. I chose to use neutral browns and reds to go with the color scheme of the bricks/etc. This layer will be set to Multiply which is a ‘pass through’ mode; any white in colors set to multiply will be transparent.
-periodically set this layer to multiply to check how the values look on your flats!
-Add a layer above this which will use the ‘Screen’ function. Screen is the opposite of multiply which takes out the ‘black’ on the mode and makes black parts transparent. Colors on top of black will work as a highlighter and brighten/tint anything below it.
- periodically set this layer to Screen to see how it looks!
- This is an optional step, but I like setting my linework to ‘multiply’ and recoloring it! It makes the enviornment feel less ‘stiff’.
- Add special FX at the end! Blurs, hazes etc.
Hope this helps a little!
