Here are the steps on how I painted Fei and Weltall

Step 1:

As always, everything begins with an idea, starting with a few thumbnail concepts and subsequently a very unfastened sketch of what I want to draw.

Step 2:

Is Linearts, This is one of the longest lineart sessions I ever had as I wanted to try a different method. Instead of heavy strokes I decided to use thin lines and then focus on the coloring to give it depth and weight.

Step 3:

Colorblocking, I decide what color to use on each section I do not think about lighting here first as I am only using flat colors, the goal is to organize the layers as much as I possible. Unlike many digital-artists I know I tend to use a LOT of layers in this step as it gives me more control and precision.

Step 4:

Is when I determine the light-source and put in the shadows first. You can see the illustration is starting to have form.

Step 5:

Last step is where I put in the lights and effects. I use the same principle as step 4 but this time I applied light opposite the shadows.

And here below is an animated summary of how it looks from start to finish, I hope you enjoy my
short explanation of my process. If you do please share this article on Facebook, follow me on

“Lanotdesign is a pleasure to work with, and one of our favorite design studios to hire for our in-house projects. I have had the pleasure of working with them for several years on multiple projects, and his professionalism and design ability is what keeps me hiring them time after time.”

Rob Hopkinson Marketing Consultant

“I had to produce a flight safety card but the standard drawings were fussy and unclear. A previous card was converted to a simpler style. I asked Harvey to match the design for the new card and supply in vector format. They seamlessly blended the existing style with the new instructions. The team was keen to offer revisions if I needed them but he got everything perfect on the first pass. I would definitely recommend Lanotdesign Studios for your illustrations.”

John-David Enright Sr. Director

“I have had the pleasure to contract Harvey's design services for both small and large projects. He helped me by designing and framing a website for a web based silloncone valley start-up business. He has designed company Mascots, logos, Van Wraps, and YouTube artwork for a children's show. I highly recommend Lanot for any project no matter how simple or complex.”

Chase Lavsa

“I contacted Harvey about a company logo after seeing his designs and noticing that extra 'polish' he put into his work. The team did an awesome job coming up with basic designs and then modifying them based on suggestions I wanted to try. Everything was done quickly. They didn't make me wait long at all for a response. I'm really happy with the result and I will definitely hire them in the future for any more work I may need.”
