I made a ‘Call Me By Your Name’ fan art! It was one of my favorite movies from last year and I just loved how it reminded me of a good shonen-ai manga that I used to read when I was a teenager. I colored it digitally using Kyle T Webster watercolor brush. Lately, I’ve been struggling with coloring digitally and this was a great exercise to see what a digital watercolor brush can do.

Here’s a work in progress of this illustration. I always start with a pencil rough sketch on paper. It’s the most comfortable and fastest way to get my ideas down. Then I scan it and do the cleaned up pencil drawing in Photoshop. Then on a new layer, I start coloring the figures. I concentrate on especially the face. Getting the right skin tone and facial expression is very important so I want to spend enough time to work on it the way I like it. Then in a new layer, I color the rest of the picture roughly to see if the overall color works. Then I refine them and it’s done!

I am going to bring some copies of this print for sale for MoCCA next weekend so if you are in NYC and a fan of this gorgeous movie, stop by my table at A106!
