Hi steemians:

A couple of days ago I started to see different documentaries of the First and Second World War, in addition to the different warlike conflicts in which the world has been involved, and as a result of this marathon of documentaries and films on the topic, it emerged in me the need to draw.

I wanted to design, then, an original character to represent the warriors who die in this type of conflict, those poor souls who left our world to defend their beliefs. Fact that makes them Martyrs.

1. This time I wanted to do something different. I drew the entire sketch with my blue pencil, on a sheet of paper.

2. Then I took a picture of it and put it into my drawing program. I improved the contrast and brightness a little to make the lines clearer.

3. Then, I cleaned the sketch with the lineart and leave it ready for coloring.

4. I decided to start coloring by her skin.

5. I continued to color her hair and lips.

6. I decided to continue coloring her sweater.

7. I kept coloring her jacket and hair bun.

8. I decided to continue coloring the withered flower (which represents the death of her young soul).

9. Finishing the process, I colored the background.

10. And finally, I added my signature in the drawing.

In my science fiction and adventure stories, I always try to maintain a realistic and raw atmosphere, allowing myself to present the viewer with the true face of pain and suffering in war. That is why I try to read articles and watch documentaries about the different warlike conflicts that have occurred in the world throughout the years, as much as I can. I hope you liked this character and his story a lot, I really liked the end result and, as always, I would love to hear your comments. A big hug!
