This is my second black panther art post here on steemit. The first one being T’Challa the black panther. Today I’m gonna be posting Shuri the Badass sister of T’challa as my entry for #trialbycomics.

The contest requires to submit pencil work for your original art. So im probably gonna post the final painted piece in a different post and I haven't got time to paint at the moment so pencil work will have to do for now.

I started off with rough concept works, did character reference since I really like her look in the up coming movie.

Concepts

I settled for this frame from the trailer which shows how strong and powerful she is as a character. As you can see I started out with rough linework to get the proportions just right.

Detailing was hard for this piece in particular. I’m used to comic book covers and variants as inspiration which are already have very detailed refernces, to get this frame from the movie and make it 2-dimentional piece since my goal is not realism was tricky specially with the Panther gauntlets.

Once I got the linework done I applied shading and added the neccessary elements I wanted.

Happy with the outcome I scanned it and deemed it worthy for #trialbycomics.

I am excited to move on to colouring this piece too. I love Shuri’s look for the movie. And the colours are so vibrant I am yet to sketch my rendition of the dora milaje where I’m currently playing with concepts on what to do.
