Using Clipping or Masking - Concept Art

Now that you have a little bit of a experience with masking, let's put together a project that makes use of masking. Choose or make a character to draw, and we'll make  full picture of it, using color & shading with clipping.

Assignment:

1. First, choose a subject for your drawing.
2. Please spend some time setting up the initial layers of a drawing you'd like to color. You'll need to make an initial sketch of what you want to draw, then make a new layer with clean line art. 
• Check with me when you've finished this step. I want you to have really clean line art. 
• If you need a review on how to make clean line art, I'll go over that with you, or you can watch: Lineart Tutorial
3. Once you're ready to color, begin separating your main colors onto different layers
