I'm looking for a new candidate for the project, as I couldn't find one last time.
iPad + Procreate (strictly).
Important content conditions:
You are over 18 years old.
You have a normal, non-hypocritical attitude towards drawing women and plus-size furry characters. This is our target theme, and you will be working with it constantly — please keep this in mind when responding.
Who I am looking for (important criteria)
I need not a "tracer," but a thoughtful artist who understands the logic of drawing. THIS IS REALLY IMPORTANT:
Lines must connect, lines have thickness, thin in the middle and thick on the sides, with line thickening in places where it logically would be darker.
Understands how and why the line goes this way and not otherwise.
Thanks to the sequence of drawing lines, the logic of the drawing is established. Feels volume and structure: for example, that a leg is tucked into a boot (not the other way around), that the chest is tucked into a corset and therefore looks protruding, that the tail grows from the correct anatomical place, not from anywhere.
Notices mistakes in proportions by themselves: too long arm, crooked face, missing fingers, etc.
Can draw hands.
Leads a smooth, lively line with correct thickening and thinning in the right places.
Confidently works with color and references. Understands color combinations.
Can replicate my line art and coloring style.
What the task involves
I will send a ready Procreate file with already set layers and groups. Your work consists of two stages:
Line (line drawing)
You will make a neat line art over the sent template. All lines must be complete, as coloring will be done through "Reference."
You will show it to me for approval.
Coloring (after line approval)
The technique is simple, by layers for each object:
Base color layer (Color)
Clipping layers on top:
Blushing (blush/shades)
Add (adding light)
Multiply (darkening/shadows)
Speed: I spend 40–60 minutes on 1 drawing. I expect a comparable speed from you after mastering the technique.
Payment: $10 for 1 drawing.
Payment method: PayPal.
How to respond and test task (please read carefully)
No automatic responses and "I've been working in Photoshop for 250 years, I can take a picture of my mom" — save all that for the Nobel Prize.
What needs to be done:
Just show how you do the line. Send a line drawing — an outlined picture (cow) in your execution.
Test task parameters:
Brush: attached (.brushset), use it, brush size 4-5.
Sheet size: 2500 x 3700 pixels.
Examples of similar works are attached below.
What I am looking at:
If you can make a good, meaningful line — with coloring, I am sure you will manage without problems, I will help.
If your line looks similar to mine (put your work next to mine and really look, does it look similar?), we can do a paid test work.
Main mistakes of past candidates, please try to consider:
I am posting this task again as a person was not found. Here’s what to pay attention to:
Need two hands, not three. Why do I need a cow with three hands? I think it will be clear that this is AI.
Objects are simply outlined without logic. If this is a mass of hair, it has large curls (inside which there are already small lines), imagine it as 3D and layer the curls on the head, not just outline the line because it goes here.
I attached examples of what my line looks like, when you draw yours, put it next to mine and think, does it look like one person? (and I understand that someone will say it will still differ, I have worked for 7 years in cartoon portraits, and I know that you can adapt to a style with the right skills and knowledge).
Please think of the objects as if you were drawing a character from scratch yourself. For example, the cow on the left has a cuff, there are under-folds and an under-flower, you need to draw it logically, not just outline it incorrectly. The same goes for the top, there are damaged folds, you draw regular stockings (which end with a line at the top), and then draw lace on top.
Lines are even, not chaotic, look closely at my examples. Life hack, lower the brightness of my drawing and try to outline the lines to understand how to lead them correctly.
If you have questions, write, I will help. I need a person who understands what looks wrong in the drawing and can correct it at their discretion.

Here is a video example of how I lead the line.
