1. Rough sketch! Normally I do some more ideation or thumbnails for an illustration I know I'm going to finish, but I knew what I wanted this one to be straight from the get-go.
2. Clean lineart! I had fun doing the hair on this one, I'm not sure the last time I drew long/flowy hair! ouo
3. Flat colors! I just did the whole background on this stage too since it's all on one layer. It's just based off the colors and look of the window in the background in the show with some blurry/unfocused colors, here's the reference image I used:
4. Color details, adding the stars and patterns on his skin. I used a star brush for this, but I've had it for so long I don't remember where it's from. I probably just googled "star brush photoshop" and found one I liked at the time!
5. Shading! A little back-lit because of the bright window behind him.
6. Some overlays to adjust the color and try to add a bit of a behind-the-mirror look.
7. Finishing touches like coloring some of the lineart and adding some fly-away hairs. All done!
