Yus, progress art! Because I realized this'll take another 100 years to be finish. B)
It's actually a fanart this time, and I might do a "Part two" depending on how I feel like it with characters that didn't fit into this picture. It's some of the Franco-Belgian characters who I grew up with and still love today (:
They are, for those who don't know (or can't see durrhurr) from the left front to the back; Strongsmurf (No idea what you call him we call him Muskelsmurfen), Spip(de.Pips), Spirou(dk.Splint) & Fantasio (sv.Nicke), Gaston (next to him will be more smurfs together with Papasmurf(sv.Gammelsmurfen)), Johan & Pirlouit (sv. Pellevin. eng/de.Peewit) and at the very back is Lucky Luke supposed to be riding on his Jolly jumper and above him the Daltons (:
So! Here's how I do it, and how far I've come.

So! Here's how I do it, and how far I've come.
So first up is the starter sketch, and this looks like...wtf 8D Even I would've gotten a tad lost if I drew the clean sketch later on.
The clean sketch looks much better!But I've made a few changes on it later on Pirlouits legs for an example (he got too long the first time and here I just gave up XD) and stuff you can't see anymore.
This is how I did the lineart in this one, I did one character at a time.. in different colors! (See next)
All lined up!
Without the sketch.
Then it was time to try my luck at the grass.I'm trying out a new way of coloring(BGs) since I've got a background for once.
And since it's a background...I tired easily so I started doing something else on the drawing after I had drawn a couple of lines o grass.
I added some white behind the smurf, so the background wouldn't shine through at a later stage.(I actually did this on a later stage but I should've done this first, at least before coloring)
Shadows, shadows shadows!I might redo them though (they somehow look different than the others)
Then I tried to splat on some color (:Probably going to fix with the colors later on though.
So!I thought it was finally time to add some shadows to the others as well.
Do note that Lucky Luke and the Daltons (as well as the other smurfs) will be painted like the background.
It looked kinda funky without the lines so I thought I'd throw it in here.SO..so this is how far I've come...so far 8D;
Enjoy~
