This is the step-by-step process I went through to create this color Wonder Woman drawing. Unlike my usual working process, this was done 100% digital with Photoshop and a Wacom tablet. I was trying to work quick so I didn't do anything too fancy. Its meant to be a simple color character drawing. I MEANT to create a fun, digital sketch in browns with highlights and a "pencil" line, but I went overboard.

HERE We go:

Step 1- roughly sketched it out over a brown background with a light grey color.
Step 2- On a new layer, I started inking it digitally ink it with a 'brush' that had a little thick and thin. The sketch was not worked out, which is what I wanted- I wanted to add details as I inked.
Step 3- Still inking. I am moving things here and there as I ink if I see stuff (like the top of her head) as I go. Note that I try and ink things that are in the foreground first, then the stuff behind it- it helps to make sure lines don't go through each other.
Step 4- Finished inks but bottom sketch layer is still on.
Step 5- Turned off the sketch level so you can see just the inks.
Step 6- I added a layer under the inks level and added a white mask behind her, then added a layer under that with the background shape and added a gradiation to it.
Step 7- Adding a COLOR level ABOVE the inks level (and multiply it). I start filling in sloppy because I'm gonna color around these first colors.
Step 8- Finished the flat colors.
Step 9- Added a Highlights level above the color one. This is just the highlights first.
Step 10- Added a Tones level for the darker colors.
Step 11- Added a shadow level below the white mask, a glow effect to the lasso, and I softened the edge of the BG shape. DONE!

Awesome work as always! I was wondering what is the advantage of putting the color level above and multiplying it instead of placing it underneath the outline?

Like how you started in light grey, then went with black! You need to change the category to digital, though. :]
