I tried to draw like Qtonagi (and found a simplified drawing method) | Artist Study

This video was my study and attempt in trying to draw in the style of the legendary Japanese artist: Qtonagi (旧都なぎ). The artist often posts illustration processes on her Youtube channel, but even with her real time process, I still couldn’t quite follow along. So, I attempted to simplify her workflow into something that a normal human being can follow. With a simplified workflow/ formula as a guide, hopefully it will help you with decision making in your own Qtonagi study.
