Rooting to the Earth: My Ink illustration and GIVEAWAY of the original on Instagram
%20-%20Priscilla%20Hernandez.jpg)
Inspired by a "Draw this in your style" Challenge prompted by an artist I met on Steemit.
Original drawing in black, white and gold markers over 100grs art toned paper.
The illustration is inspired in the photography from an artist friend @wildempress who I actually met on Steemit when we both started last year. Though she's not much active anymore around here (hope this mention motivates her to revisit her Steemit profile) she prompted a challenge of drawing a photo of her in different art styles... I deviate quite a lot from the original (which is lovely by the way and you can find on Wild Empress instagram.
Vanessa and I both love moths so I added a bunch there :) because you know moth obsessed people tend to converge when we flutter into the light. Just hint hint!! :) We're still here and you're missed in this platform too so hope you get the time to post from time to time.
I already asked her for permission to include the picture in this post (awaiting for reply as I post this in order to edit this post and post it along) but you an also see it there.
I wanted to do it as a compliment and then I was carried way and it shifted... I decided to use it as a gift to my supporters, and there is currently a GIVEAWAY ongoing on my Instagram Account http://instagram.com/yidneth if you are interested (instructions at the end of this post).So Original is going to be given to a random winner but I already scan it and my question is:
Should I colour it digitally? Yes or No?
Or do you like the rustic finish of the traditional lines (I sometimes prefer it). I may give it a try to digital painting on top of the sketch though :) What do you think? you can type on comments. :)
##Here some early stages before it took final shape
I didn't want to be realistic but incorporate elements of things I love to the original picture. After all the challenge is to transform things into your own style. So I added wings, moths and turned it into a dryad rooting into the Earth which is something that lately is providing so much healing to me. I embellished the final sketch with white and gold markers.
She is a representation of "forestbathing", grounding in Nature. Connecting with all living things. In fact tomorrow Sunday is my day to do this precisely, go barefoot to the woods and just ground

That would be such a badass tattoo!

hahha :) I'll take that as a big compliment :) My logo is at the end of the post, and that (more discrete) I thought once of tatooing though I confess I'm no meant for permanent things.
I've plenty of scars as it is myself so not ever gotten any ink etched into skin. Maybe I'm just scared of needles😋

hahha maybe I'm scared too, I have none either, though I considered seriously to ink the paw prints of my fufunchis (rats) once they were gone, I got the pawprint of the three of them on paper.
That would be as original of any tat I could possibly think and a really cool idea!
Simply wonderful and deep... lovely my dear.
Be well

Thanks for the kind wishes... this year started rather rocky but on the mend :)
What a beautiful fantasy art. I really like all the design and elements that you put here, the beautiful horn against the moon, all the forest details all around her and also on her body. Lovely art and I think you should colour it :D. Since it's digital then the sketch is pretty safe, though I doubt you will ruin it even if you colour it with traditional media.
id say...perfect design for a @steemmonsters card!!
Aww thank you :) I promised Carrie Allen to draw a green SM character one day, though I draw in a different style than the cards itself. :)
Lovely to see you @yidneth 💗
Such lovely art! I hope to see you lots looking ahead. I think i am one of your biggest fans!! Hugs 🌸🎶
Awww you are very sweet and thanks for your constant support!
Wow girl another hidden talent !!!! Don’t color it ! I think it looks great in black and white

Huggggs someone who read the question wee. By the way the giveaway is on ig if you want to participate is super easy. Congrats on entering your last term btw
I personally think it would be more interesting if it were hand colored, rather than digital.
Of course, I really like it the way it is also.
I painted my old comic with pencils and watercolours I am used to colour traditionally but I am afraid I will not have the original to paint because I am giving it away as it is next Saturday, so I am just keeping the line scan to consider a digital coloured version. Thanks so much for the input Amber 💓

I don't know how I always do it, but somehow I get too busy and then lose touch with some of my favourite steemians , not sure why. I guess as I curate and read in a very old school way, I never get notifications, oh well. I'm glad I remembered you today and worked my way back.
Now, I'm going to go listen to what looks like a cool video of your amazing music!
