Artist questionnaire time! ๐Ÿง‘โ€๐ŸŽจ๐ŸŽจ

What are the last finishing touches you place on your piece that finalizes the deal? Is it some type of post process? Is it your finalized signature that just makes it all come together? Is it a texture you apply at the end? Vignettes?

What makes your piece, made from you at the end? :)

The very last things I do is adding a dust texture and some adjustment work to push contrast, lightness and the colors :3 And, if I don't forget, putting my signature on it in a low opacity :'D

that would definitely be when I start working on the shading especially when i then lower the opacity then it just all comes together

If Iโ€™m doing stylized traditional, I do a second lineart at the end, I feel it truly makes it all come together

Hmmm. Usually when I finalized it is when I start to shade and check any spots that I miss! After all that, I put my watermark down! :33

Usually the noise texture and then my watermark ๐Ÿ‘U๐Ÿ‘ what about you?

Usually I add overlays and lighting effects. With the very last step to copy the whole image and blur it, when I lower the opacity it makes the drawing look really soft. I donโ€™t know why I started this but my drawings are never complete without it.

Sparkles and glitter to make everything magical ๐Ÿ’–

The lighting and shadows is what makes my pieces come together in my opinion :3
