SO SORRY FOR THE LATE REPLY!!!
I saw your response and was waiting for a time where I could sit down and type it out and not rush, haha!
For the painted ones I ideally should thumbnail out but instead what I do is take a look at the character profiles, get an idea of their personality and how I THINK they would pose/be in an environment. I then use either pintrest or my saved references to look up something I think would fit, or to get an idea of other ways people have posed characters. So typing in ''sassy pose'' or ''portrait photography'' and go from there with sketching out a quick idea/gesture.
Once the sketch is done I most likely will do ANOTHER sketch on top to iron out details like how clothing folds will lay and anatomy issues. Usually by now I have an idea of the sort of lighting I'll want to do also. After the second sketch is done I add flat colours underneath and then a multiply layer above to add initial shadows. If I'm doing back/dramatic lighting then I'll just fill the whole layer in and clip it to the flat and then use a eraser brush (but set it to the sort of brush I'll be painting in so the texture remains the same) and erase bits where light would touch the form. I usually do about 2 layers of shadow and one for highlight and then merge them all down and paint on top.
I like to do the background before painting (If I know what background I want/it's a scene) just so I have a place holder for the lighting / the sort of colours the character is in front of so I can make sure they still stand out.
A bit more goes into it like searching up references when I need them for anatomy, lighting, backgrounds ect but if it's facial /hand anatomy I'll often just make my own using my laptop webcam. My camera roll is A MESS xD
Also sorry shameless plug but sometimes I put my speed paint videos on my twitter. Most posts with more than 1 image usually means there's a video on the next slide. They're sped up a lot but should show the sort of process I'm describing.
That's such an interesting theory that I've never heard of before. I can totally see how those results came about but I didn't realise JUST how drastic the difference would be. That is awesome and tbh I have been enjoying a lot more of the work I've been producing even if it isn't perfect!

@xvz:
Thank you so much!!!
I've been loving trying to branch out with my characters and lighting so I'm glad these are coming out well!
All different timings, the quickest are the painted ones so 2nd, 3rd and 5th under the spoiler took around 1-2 hours each, the BG one being more like 2 and a half hours.
The lined guitar one says it took 2 hours too but cus I reused a background so didn't draw that one from scratch, just used overlays and repainted bits.
The animated ones both took about 4 hours in drawing time then another 1-2 hours+ for rendering/tryouts overlays ect.
overall I've been trying to speed up my process and just have fun with producing stuff quicker, even if it isn't perfect! At least just for artfight. I want to do more portfolio work in the future which will be a lot more in-depth and long process timed pieces.

LOL it truly is! Even working as an animator half the time I'm squinting at the screen like ''I've defo seen this done before but don't know how it works'' and just throw things at AE till it sticks
xD
Oooo does sketch book have an animation option??
IK procreate recently updated their app so it's more animation friendly and us animators have been rejoicing!!!
It definitely feels like the best of both worlds! even if it gives me double the stuff to learn
@chiffonorange:
Ahhh thank you so muchhh

Awh thank you so much!!!
I used Procreate for my last two smoll animations but I'm not sure If I like it. It's such a clunky way to animate as you have to group layers together so it ends up with like 80 layers and having to copy and paste the bg colours into each group.
Maybe I'm doin it wrong LOL
and thank you! I guess I never quite decided if I wanted to be an animator or illustrator so kinda just do both

Awhh thanks so much!!!
I actually JUST finished this one so NONEEE

Yeah same. I don't really leave my house at all, even during the week, as I work from home. I've developed major anxiety about going out because of how bad the virus got and how very few people seem to be following the governments simple guidelines.
I've seen neighbours having house parties the whole time during lockdown! It's so scary!
I hope you can stay safe!
Do you work from home too or have to go in?
