VN character: Lady with basket


Another one-off character artwork. Like last week's entry, this would work as a VN portrait for dialogues.

Again, this has been made in Paint Tool SAI, with some color correction afterwards.
SAI is pretty good for these soft, flowing lines - it has amazing brush behavior, seems to interpolate much more finely than other programs, and it's lightning-quick! You're probably not even noticing the input lag in heavier programs, but I seriously recommend giving it SAI (or another lightweight, painting-only software) a spin!

In lieu of an actual Making Of, here's the lineart and basic coloring:

Honestly, the reddish shading was probably a bit of a waste, as I just painted over it all. Still, it's a neat exercise, and for darker/grittier images, it definitely pays to have the shading done on paper.
Hope you like it!
