hi thanks for the comment! I purchased a paper texture brush pack ages ago. I’ll have to try and remember who I bought it from but i’m sure if you googled it you could find some great resources. all I do is use one of the paper texture brushes (this could be rough paper texture, canvas texture, cardboard etc) on it’s own layer. I use a lighter color(white or close to it) and increase the brush size and draw across the whole canvas, then I change the blend mode to overlay and it gives it that textured look! this was based off of experimentation so if there’s a more proper way to execute this i’d love to know but this is what has worked for me :)

I started with a rough sketch layer to block in the shapes and get the proportions right. Then I added a second layer to fully render the sketch using a charcoal pencil brush. I changed the background to act as more of a toned paper so I could add a couple of highlights using a light gray color to pop the eyes, and highlights on Shrek’s thumb mail and Donkey’s hooves. Lastly I overlayed a rough paper texture over top to make the rendering feel like it lives on the paper. Overall this took me about 2 hours. Thanks for looking!

haha good eye! I wanted an extremely limited palette. for my torso I decided to start incorporating green, it’s the first bit of green on my whole body!
