Yaay my first tutorial :aww:
This is my walkthrough for how I painted our friendly neighbor Scorpion...

Tools: PaintTool SAI, using Pencil, Marker and Blur tools.

Steps:

1 - Basic sketch + Black outlines, I try not to keep my lines perfect since I add them as I go.

2 - Base colours, make sure to add them under your lines.

*From here on every layer goes over your line layer*

3 - Small highlights to black clothing as well as adding basic shading to the skin (I use 2 different tones for shading). I also re-painted the yellow quilted part over the line layer and added lines for the quilts.

4 - I add a 2nd base colour to the gold armor as well as hightlights and some shadows.

5 - Add more highlights to the black clothing, add basic lighting to the yellow cloths (I used one colour for that, but for the less bright parts I just use the marker tool).

6 - Added more hightlights to the skin as well as yellow cloths and added the skull on the belt.

7 - Gave sharper highlights to the armor and added blu-ish tones for shading on the yellow quilts.

8 - Added studs and more lighting to the skin (i get very picky with the skin). Yumm donuts.

9 - Background

10 - Final touch-ups

Hope this can help :)
Any questions don't hesitate to ask.
