progresses for "Sunset bliss.."

after so long delay..this is my second commission work progress for kampret again..it's been months ............orz

Watanuki(xxxholic) x Shaoran(tsubasa reservoir) yaoi pairing (yaoi again..^^; i oughtta draw women for refresher lol) ..but sorry the pose's not hot, only this pose came into mind ><

2) 3)
4a) 4b)

5>

1) lines first, as always..this time, i tried another style, quite messy, well..honestly im trying to mimic CLAMP's style on this work, so it's kinda bold and some parts in the shadow are all black
2) i try to imagine & make the mood, basic color and was trying to form the clouds in sunset lightning (it was an instant concept ^^> that time)
3) filling the characters color, yeah, a bit painting-ish, to match the messy outline as well.
4)a. tidy-up! look at the sky (haha it's just sky drawing exercise, pardon the mess), added details to the costume, and nearly finished
b. now before finishing..i need to adjust the color at photoshop, i used color balance at most, to correct the color and lighting as i want.
5) finish! see the difference with the last step and this one? look at this tutorial(step7: painting over lines) and u'll understand :D kinda tricky but works wonderfully.. haha actually i used this tuts too lol *smacked* ahh.. i guess im no match with this hardcore profesional artist ^^> ah i also lighten the pic so it doesnt

hope it helps!

add note:
ahh.. i really miss clamp's work, the last project i read was opening chapters of xxxholic and tsubasa reservoir..but i didnt continue my reading yet. i was a fan of CLAMP(esp. MKR & CCS) but not the stories they made lol. i usually liked their concept, setting and characters, prologue to mid story flow on each project but IMO they usually ruin the climax and ending..-_- i think they're doing good job though, in fact they sold a lot. prolly just not my kinda type of story i like hahaha^^a
