Hey, I'm curious, what music did you use for this (and part 2 as well)? They're quite beautiful, especially this one. (I apologize if they're posted somewhere and I didn't see it, I tried searching).

Amazing art too, I love watching people's progress.

Looks like Youtube lists the song under the description now!

Part 1: Jonn Serrie - Land Of Lyss

Part 2: Medwyn Goodall - Tears of the Deep (from Way of the Dolphin)

I have a question. :3 How are you able to keep certain groups above and below each other so easily? Like when you're adding the first shading under the hair, but above the skin, did you draw the shading in a separate group, and take it out of its group and put it into the skin group? Or are they in separate groups, and you just have a special way to keep all the groups above and below each other?

@roastedtoastable

Yeah, the hair and skin are in separate groups. Shading, however, is usually done within the same group when it makes sense. Groups can be easily moved above or below by clicking on them and pressing Ctrl + Up / Down

When you colour the girl, everything goes opaque except for what you're drawing, then you pass it through her...yet on the timeline (Which looks weird, why?) it doesn't show that you've changed layers. Am I blind or...are you using a trick that you do not know? How do you do that?

[wakuwakuwaiwai]

what you are seeing is me drawing in a "Group" - it is a simple container that is almost like its own layer, except it can be placed in other groups and transformed as a whole

I was watching a horror movie while this page just started playing. The music matched the mood of the movie so perfectly (and it was a music-less creepy part).

Anyways, great vid! It inspires me to draw some line-less ... stuff.

Why are there so many frames?

@laidbacktionist he says on his dA he's just used to it, so that's why he draws with it.

thats Impressive Johnsu... very impressive. Is that usually how you do?
