And here is the step-by-step drawing process.

Step One: Rough draft. I use a 40 px pastel pencil to block out the rough shape.

Step Two: Draw line art layer with the G Pen tool

Step Three: Hide the rough draft.

Step Four: Throw down some color. I used a giant rough watercolor brush just to fill the page with irregular green tones. Then slathered in some other shades of green and a bit of gold

Step Five: Set the line art layer as the reference and let Clip Studio do the work with the "colorize" feature.

Step Six: Duplicate the new color layer as a "multiply" layer to darken the entire picture. Then I just add tones to one of the layers. Mostly used the smooth watercolor brush to shove paint around the canvas.

Step Seven: Make a new "add glow" layer to put in some highlights, then sign the bottom right corner

Step Eight: Profit!
