Artwork Image

Hey guys! I really haven't been able to come up with a concept that I ended up drawing my avatar... I might draw more of her in different poses if I'm not able to think of anything soon. I might get tired of her style but I think it would serve as practice for me! (Since I can only draw limited poses and facial expressions) \o/

For this one, I used an amazingly huge canvass and high resolution that when I saved it as png, it was 15mb big... Sooo, I saved it in jpeg and all problems were resolved. I've tried repainting my avatar so that I could replace it but it ended up horribly. So horribly that I was motivated to paint another one that has white hair and purple eyes.

Progress Shots

Here's the sketch! She's still emotionless but I tried to play with the angle and stuff (and wasn't very successful). I drew the hand too! I have been to stubborn about using reference pictures before but, as most tutorials have told me, references are healthy :>

Next is rough coloring and shadings. I was trying to get the look where there's light coming from the back but I found it reaally difficult.

Then, refining of colors! I find this part difficult and fun at the same time. In this part, I get to clean the painting and make it smooth.

Finally, some tweaking in the proportions, lighting, shadowing, and color dodging aaand done! \o/

That's about it!
