Art has many stages! When seeing the step tracker (ex. Sketch [0/6]) it is a display of how many stages are done followed by how many stages are left, and how far away your work is from being completed.
Each style has different steps, but Quality Check is always the final stage. Quality check means the work is "complete" and I am simply stepping away from it anytwhere from a few hours to a day (depending on the complexity of thr work) to rest so I can come back to it with fresh eyes and determine if any final touches need to be made.
Sketch art (standard & chibi):
- Sketch
- Sketch Cleanup
- Flats (* if purchased)
- Quality Check
Paintings (standard & chibi):
- Sketch
- Line Art
- Flats
- Rendering (Bulk Shading)
- Final Rendering (Touchups & Color Adjustments)
- Quality Check
Backgrounds will be listed as a seperate checklist but will include the Final Rendering & Quality Check for the whole piece - meaning, the painting list would be short those two steps.
Badges & Emotes will have no stages, only a count how many have been completed.
Budget work may have a different number of stages, but they'll follow the same names and descriptions.
