My Character Design Process!✒️ Start to Finish [Clip Studio Paint Speedpaint]

[@Kanaalee]

Hi love the character design process! You’ve actually done such a great job on making the poses striking and dynamic. It’s clear that you’ve put a lot of thought and creativity into this, and it shows! But, hey! I've been seeing on how much you struggle on self worth and managing expectations. I know it’s easy to get caught up in those moments of self-doubt, but remember, every artist faces those fears, and it’s completely normal. What you’re feeling is part of the journey-it means you care deeply about your work and want to improve. The beauty of art is that it’s about progress, not perfection. Each piece you create is a step forward, even if it doesn't always feel that way. Don’t be afraid to experiment, fail, or even struggle, because that’s where growth happens. You’re doing amazing, and you’re capable of even more than you realize! Hope this helps you! ❤

[@kurohshiro]

Actually. Thanks for this comment. I am starting to feel very disappointed with my work again and this feeing is really dependent on how other people perceive my stuff. I know being that dependent on external recognition is fatal but I can't help myself and define my self worth through numbers. I hope to find time to step back from this a d experiment freely with my art again, not caring for any perfect outcome. Again, thanks for letting me know. I am wishing you all the best 😌

Kuro is the light of the sun The beauty of the moon And the reason why I can continue forth in my art journey with a smile

[@ItisRemii]

@@MidnightKing2 she is a very inspiring artist

KUROOOO SHES CAPTIVATING. ABSOLUTELY MAJESTIC. I LOVE HER SO MUCH THANK YOU FOR THIS

[@et8365]

i feel like she would be the mafia boss of some underground organization lording over her minions and sincerely she gives “bow before me weaklings” vibes (in agood way). the colour scheme is slaying the shirt ruffles were drawn so nicely too i love it!!!

[@kurohshiro]

Ohh thank you! The ruffles and stuff were the most fun lol and for her as a character, so the minions would be a chicken family lol

[@sugareimon]

She definitely seems like some kind of cool, icy antagonist that warms up to the heroes over time and eventually becomes an ally! Some sort of leader of an organization- just seems powerful and really awesome!

[@kurohshiro]

Ohh okay! So like the Genshin Ei/ Raiden Shogun thing? That's an interesting concept :) thanks for letting me know!

[@mochimona]

kuuuuroooooooo this looks SO AMAZING. i love, love, looove the design omg.

[@kurohshiro]

Thank you! I am so glad to hear that :3

[@elysian499]

YAYYY KURO POSTED !!

[@TamaraKane]

This is incredibly beautiful. I love your artistic process. This is what some CEOs will never understand. AI is not going through this type of process. Your process is unique to your imagination. That's what makes it very special. That and excellent art skills. Way to go!

[@kurohshiro]

Aw that's wonderful to hear! The thing about ai is that at first it looks stunning and cool and so but the longer you observe it the more flaws and nonsense you'll discover and oftentimes less is more and ai tends to overload designs

[@sayakblader6018]

omg i love her design 💜💜💜💜💜💜

[@kurohshiro]

Thank you! Glad you like it 😌

[@sephirothschestmole]

this is so fun !!! who wouldve thought kuro would make a banger character out of a CHICKEN but ig it’s just kuro doing kuro things 😆 love this sm !!!

[@kurohshiro]

Haha "Kuro doing Kuro things" is pretty accurate lol thanks a lot! It's definitely fun to use the most random inspirations ^^

[@wheretao6960]

One of the coolest OC designs ever 💯💯💯

[@kurohshiro]

Aww thanks! That's wonderful to hear :)

[@olanitschke2059]

She looks so powerful ! love her !!!

[@kurohshiro]

Aw thanks! Glad you like her :3

[@darkkay]

Hey, just in time! I was planning to create a oc but wasn’t sure how to, thank you Kuro!! ❤

[@kurohshiro]

Oh that's amazing to hear! I hope this video is helping a bit:)

[@seyokie]

AHHH ANOTHER KURO POST LESGO

[@rorymakyuri3250]

she looks great 🧡 Great job as always

[@kurohshiro]

Thank you 😊 glad you like it!

[@ItisRemii]

That Chicken doesn't mess around 😂 nice illustration

[@kurohshiro]

Haha thank you! Glad you like it 😌

[@berenika275]

I really love watching your videos! They are very helpful and not so intense, so you can watch them whenever you want, depending on your mood. Besides, I love how clean and neat the whole drawing and video process looks. I would like to achieve this someday, less chaos in all this. Besides I love your artstyle and ideas. It makes me want to draw myself and it gives me such inspiration🩷☺️

[@kurohshiro]

Oh thank you so much for this kind comment! I am glad you like the way of how I show the process.

[@diginovastar6325]

I’m so jealous of how awesome your art is! I’ve been doing art for maybe over 2 motnths now, and I just made a piece I kinda hate, so I get how you feel about being a bit unmotivated.. all I wanna say is you inspire a lot of people, so please don’t give up! I started an insta and deviant art for my art because of you because u are so awesome! Keep going, and take breaks if u need!

[@kurohshiro]

Thank you so much for this kind comment! But please also take this as a reminder that your doing amazing. Being 2 months into something isn't long at all and being able to have an opinion about your art already and maybe see some flaws here and there (which we all have) is a sign of improvement. This just means your understanding of form, shape, colour etc is really good :) please keep doing and I'll try to keep doing as well 😌

[@Sho4951..]

You will always find a way to impress me. ❤❤❤

[@kurohshiro]

Thank you! :)

[@urhandsomegf]

thats so cool, but who am i kidding, you the king, the god, and you are you, amazing work as usual (not trying to glaze anyone but ur my fav artist atm)

[@kurohshiro]

Gosh thanks a lot. I am really flattered by such words 😌🙇‍♂️

[@codeargent]

Your character design process is so helpful, and so inspiring! I think she'd be the character who seems mysterious and slightly suspicious, but then turns out to be heroic in an amazing plot twist hahahaha.

[@kurohshiro]

Ohh never thought of that. But suspicious would fit very well haha thanks a lot for your comment 🙇‍♂️

[@mochisketch_]

Yay Kuro posted a new video! I'm in huge love with your artstyle! ♡ Your artstyle inspires me A LOT! After almost 18 years of drawing I'm in the middle of finding my own artstyle and your art inspires me in so many ways! ♡ I will never be able to draw as good and beautiful as you do. Knowing that makes me also a bit jealous, but my love for your art is stronger than my jealousy. You did an amazing job with this character design ❤ Keep up the great work! ^w^

[@kurohshiro]

Oh I am very honoured by your words and it makes me happy that you'll find your way. But comparing doesn't sound fair towards yourself. Art is such an subjective thing and I am sure you're doing amazing! Anyways being an inspiration to others makes me keep going. Thank you very much 🙇‍♂️

[@tanyd6627]

good! really good!🤌👌

[@kurohshiro]

Thanks a lot ^^

[@mion090]

She so awesome 💯💯💯💯

[@Akio_Boo]

WE LOVE WOMEEENNNNNNNN

[@kurohshiro]

Yes! I am noticing that I like drawing women more for some reason lol

[@Artemis-q2v]

Your OC looks so cool! She looks like she would be some type of like assassin or mafia boss :D

[@kurohshiro]

Ohh assassin! That's an interesting concept. Thanks for sharing your thoughts with me :3

[@moon_wolff]

Forgive me if this seems rude, but I think this character would fit Ado in one of her MV's or a song cover. Other than that, I'm getting big Mafioso boss vibes and "Yes. I'm the broody hen of this gossip." 😂 Beautiful character 😍

[@kurohshiro]

Aw that's not rude! I have to check this out definitely. And getting some comparisons helps to keep developing a character further. So thank you :)

[@yavvid8520]

ALL HAIL THE MOTHER OF ALL CHICKENS: BRAHMA

[@derrasiere5240]

I love it!! Color schemes that are black + white + some color always look great to me. Ofc, a color scheme on a character does nothing without wonderful design and drawing... but THIS does most certainly not lack that, hehe. The way you rendered the eye in 9:40 fascinated me for some reason? It looks simple, but my mind went HUH. Also, I did not expect to see you draw a chicken in a video of yours either but it was very nice to watch!!

[@kurohshiro]

Haha yeah the chicken. But we all love chicken right? And I was experimenting with the eye colour off screen and gave it the usual yellow colour but this didn't look right. I am actually a very big fan of really simple eyes. Thanks a lot for noticing this little detail!

[@rodrigoreciobodas2859]

Kuro you just created an impressive waifu

[@kurohshiro]

Oh really!I am glad you like her :)

[@madmaster3d]

nice video ty

[@venomousz]

i always thought the hardest thing when drawing is when creating oc, because it doesnt exist yet. It's like creating a new character background story for me 😂

[@kurohshiro]

Right! There are so many possibilities when it comes to design and at some point we just have to make a decision and go with it. Sometimes the initial ideas are the best ones ^^

[@noty9866]

She looks like she owns a magic tower and she is the most powerful sorcereress in it.

[@mimiko_1]

i have a question - how do you color the inside of the cuff on 3:40 without painting over the outline too? when i use the outline i can never get it to work like yours. great video as always!!

[@kurohshiro]

Thank you! The outline function should work no matter what you paint inside. It's important to alpha lock the layer after you defined your shape. Then you can set the colour of your outline and shade the insides of the shape. I hope this will work for you 🙇‍♂️

[@MB-dq9xp]

I just love how you draw and paint ❤. What brushes you use for painting with texture?

[@kurohshiro]

Thank you! One of my fav is 1696556 , 1798706. Sadly the textured got deleted :/

[@Kxll_Mew]

REMINDS ME OF LILITH FROM PGR!!!!!

[@kurohshiro]

Oh I have to take a look. Thanks for your comment :)

[@semi_dott]

Welp…i think i have a tiny bitsy crush on her 🥺👉👈

[@pokemonmasterfreeman1117]

Can you please recommend a free soft brush that paints like water color seeping in through paper.. Your help is much appreciated

[@kurohshiro]

Hey! I linked some brushes in the description of my Oc video (the one before the Paint Tool Sai). Hopefully there are some brushes you like:)

[@sumisuart]

CHICKEN LITERALLY

[@Nijika17]

"Are you playing a game right now? If you are, what game is it?"

[@kurohshiro]

Sadly I don't. I don't find time to allow myself doing this :/ have you any recommendations?

[@Nijika17]

@kurohshiro I suggest playing a chill game guy.
