Art Creativity: Celestial Being, Deep

Hello guys and I am back again to show you a portion of my art and creativity tutorial with videos. Since this is an art practice, please bear with the outcome. I know I still need to work a lot on the details, but anyway, this is good for beginners.

For this month's theme, I chose the celestial beings because they have always been portrayed as beautiful and captivating. I was also inspired on one of the works I saw on Instagram. Oh yes! I love checking the works of others as well as my source of inspiration. I call our character for today as Deep because she loves to swim on deep waters.

How did I go over it?

The first thing I had in my mind is to come up with the concept. After having a clear view in my mind, I started drawing it on a piece of paper. For water color as your medium, I suggest you use watercolor paper or thick type of paper . Thin paper tend to break after using a lot of water and brush multiple times.

I though of the shapes which are recognizable and can be associated with the image.

I suggest you should not follow me on this one. It is better if you use mechanical pencil so that errors could be erased easily. After sketching, I erase the unnecessary details and started painting.

I painted the hair with different colors that complement with each other such as yellow, pink, and purple. I also added more details and emphasized it using Unipin.

I added foliage of leaves. I also added seaweeds on the background. I added color blue on the background so that it would look like she is inside a bubble.

For the face, I added more details using different hues of red for the nose. I realized that this is the hardest part since you try to create a depth on a medium that I am not accustomed to use.

Here are the video guys! I hope you would enjoy it!
