The artist is John Royale, but I colored the pic with crayons (I used colored pencils for the the fine details).

Each cookie is uniquely decorated. No two are the same, just least real kiwis! :)

Probably a dumb question, I dont do graphic design or computers really at all esp for art stuff but is the wire framing something mobile? Like can you pick up the wire frames and arrange them? What is the process/program here? Looks great!

Thanks! The program is 3D Studio Max. Everything you see in the image can be moved, rotated, resized, stretched, squashed, deleted, and copied. I only needed to make one cookie, for example, then made a bunch of copies of them, decorated them differently, then arranged them on the plate. 3d modeling programs let you just pick anything up with your mouse cursor and move it around in 3d space like a real object, but without gravity or momentum, so stuff stays where you put it.

I've been thinking about sharing how I shade hair and eyes, so I'd put a tutorial into each section. I just put in watermarks for fun.

Starting with hair, featuring my main OC.
1. First, start with a circular model, then do the sketch. A layer of rough sketch is optionable.
2. Reduce opacity for the sketch, then draw the lineart with the color black. Make sure to keep the sketch in order to color and drawing the other parts. In this case, I used a customized pen for the lineart.
3. Color and remove stray lines. Since this is focused on shading hair, I slightly shaded her eyes, and adding her base gradient into her hair.
4. Color missing white parts of the artwork, then apply a shadow layer. In this case, I use Multiply, then reduce its opacity. This layer of shadow is clipped, so it does not stain the other layers nicely. My hair coloring layer lays under the skin layer, so it doesn't look messy and dirty.
5. Use the blur tool to gently blur the shadow, then apply the hair lighting. In my case, I used an another picture to do the lighting, but for doing the other way around, pick white, then use Add (Glow) (Clip Studio) or its other equivalent if you are using a different drawing app, reduce its opacity to below 30%, then pick up the lighting color, coloring it and return that lighting layer to Normal. The lighting layer is clipped.
After doing that, create a second layer, pick that hair shadow's layer, brush it below the lighting, blur it, then reduce its opacity.
6. If that character's hair is not gradient hair, pick the hair shadow, then brush a layer of upper hair shadow, then reduce its shadow.
In my case, I picked an another color, reduce its saturation to the rightest value, then click Multiply and reduce its opacity. Secondary lighting for the hair is optional.

Lastly, how I shaded an eye with one of my OCs.
1. Rough lineart is optional.
2. Do the same like the hair shading tutorial.
3. Apply the skin color outside of the eye, then apply the sclera color, shade it, then color the iris, apply shadow for it. In this case I used an another image to shade it. If not using an another image, pick a random color, then click Multiply, reduce to the rightest opacity, then merge the shadow layer with the colored iris layer.
4. Draw the pupil. Pick the most fitting color for it, then slightly blur the first half of the pupil. Eyelash highlighting is optional.
5. Apply lighting. Pick the best color for it, then put these color in Add (Glow), and reduce opacity. Blurring is crucial to give it a smooth feeling. Pupil lighting is optional.
6. Draw and blur eye shines. Changing from Normal to Add (Glow) is optional. If doing that, reduce opacity, then draw an another layer of shines, retain 100% opacity and blur it. Keep it in Normal.

the lyrics to the theme from the film The Secret of Martin L. Gore’s Dildos starring Michael J. Fox

Verse 1: Oh, the secret of Martin L. Gore’s Dildos Is that his pleasure is never denied He’s got a toy that just can’t be beat The dildo of his dreams

Verse 2: Oh, the secret of Martin L. Gore’s Dildos It’s a pleasure that never gets old He’s got a toy that will always excite The dildo of his dreams Chorus: Oh, the secret of Martin L. Gore’s Dildos It’s a pleasure that never gets old So take a ride with Michael J. Fox And get ready for some fun

Verse 3: Oh, the secret of Martin L. Gore’s Dildos It’s a pleasure that never gets old He’s got a toy that will always delight The dildo of his dreams Chorus: Oh, the secret of Martin L. Gore’s Dildos It’s a pleasure that never gets old
