"Come and Draw Contest #1" Steemit Cyberpunk contest step by step

I spotted an entry from this contest from @anomt and just had to have a go.

Step one! 😀 I had a lovey stock image I found on DEVIANTART along with a heap of others. Annoying I cant locate the original again but the user account is on this link https://misssouls-stock.deviantart.com/. You may use the stock for non commercial use. There can be some dodgy stuff there but also some excellent content creators so it is worth taking a look.

I have always liked Cyberpunk ever since the 80's and with the pending pc game interest has recently increased.

I start with a basic sketch to build upon. this is it after I have cleaned it up a little.

Next I start to add a little color. I don't want an overly detailed image as it is a quick study.

I keep adding color and altering small details, the process is basically the same in the following images.

I want my cybergirl to have some sort of prosthetic hence her robotic arm, and I really didn't want the other arm to be naked so I add to that as well. If you take a look at similar images they almost always have a gritty city kind of feel with lots of fluro lights so I added a blue light coming from the righthand side of the image.

I also add a very low detail background just to bring the main image forward a little. Next I cover some of the details with and ink style pen in sketchbook pro to give it a more comic style look,

So it is not the most detailed image ever, but what a heap of fun! It is great to be able to play around with something that is not my norm.
