This is the drawing steps of my artwork below


========
Steps:
1. Sketch. Sketch the pose and composition. I also give a rough grayscale shade to check if it looks...believable (?).
2. Lineart. Just do the tedious lining.
3. Base Color. Fill in base colors, each color was in separated layers.
4. Shading & Lighting. When shading this, I use a rather medium to dark value color for shading so the lighting can pop out later. I use normal layer for shading & various other layers for lighting.
5. Effects & Lineart Coloring. Add the effects that I already planned on the sketch. I also do lineart coloring here.
6. Finishing. I feel like I need some background so I draw a space-theme background...you know like they're on a sun-like star and there's a planet near it. I add more glow here on the metals and any shiny objects. Usually I just keep adding things until it satisfies me. The last thing is adjusting the color using color balance, tone curve, and level adjustment.

*throughout the steps, I often fix some mistake + adjust the hue, saturation, and luminosity.
