Hello kittens! 🐱 Danai Gurira as  Okoye:

 “Extremely Proud” Wakand and the head of Dora Miladge, the female unit of the special forces of Wakanda, who serves as T'Challa’s bodyguard. When they saw Gurira in the cast, director Ryan Kugler did not watch The Walking Dead series, in which Gurir played the role of a popular character named Michon, instead they wanted to take on the role because of her performance in the movie “George Mom. Gurira said that the combat skills that taught her to play in Michonne on the television series complement the skills for Oka, but “there are many ways in which they differ greatly from each other ...

Okoye is completely “different.”

Okoye is one of Dora Milaye, a female combat organization that serves the king of Wakanda. Each member of Dora Milaye was chosen from various tribes. In the comics, every woman wanted to be a queen. However, T’Challa was never interested in them, considering that they are needed only for ceremonies.

Marvel united Okoye with another member of Dora Milaye named Aneka. Okoye has become General Wakanda, the leader Dora Milaye, and one of T’Challa’s most important advisers.

" Black Panther "

Genre: Action, Adventure, Fiction

Country: USA

The film "Black Panther" tells about the new adventures of the eponymous superhero "Marvel Universe", who is also the ruler of the state of Wakanda in South Africa.  The heir to the throne, which has already proved itself in all its glory in the film The First Avenger: Confrontation, this time will protect the interests of its people and will fight to save the tribe from the threats and attacks of insidious villains. The director was the author of the Oscar-awarded film “Creed: The Legacy of Rocky,” directed by Ryan Kugler.

In the depths of the vast lands of Wakanda, the rarest and most valuable metal on earth was found - Vibrany. His number was considered so small that all the finds for all human eras were enough to create a unique shield for Captain America. Now, when it is possible to create real mines in the African expanses for the extraction of such a rare mineral, the struggle for power in this area is seriously threatening and at the same time attracts a considerable amount of money to rich people and criminals. For a long time, anyone who destroys these lands and kills Aborigines is punished by the vengeful spirit of the Black Panther, and even now no one escapes from the masked avenger, because the young Prince T'Challa inherits not only strength but also great responsibility with his costume and weapons of the legendary warrior. 

The Black Panther will present the audience with a completely new segment of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Some of his key characters were featured in Captain America: Civil War. First of all it is the title character itself. But several bright heroes have yet to make a debut on the big screen.

Now back to art. Phased work:

pencil sketch

I always start my watercolor works with a good contour. At this stage, I describe the location of each object on paper. Do not be afraid of the need to make sketches in watercolor painting. The sketch does not have to be very complex, with carefully drawn details. You just need reference points. I strongly recommend that you make sketches of life stories as often as possible, as well as use photos as source material - models.

Sketch

Drawing a sketch, at first I depict a plot schematically in geometrical forms, after smoothing and correcting the drawn lines.

Color analysis

Sometimes I show shadows with strokes, which makes it possible to study the plot from the point of view of the location of the light and dark areas. This allows you to determine how much and what kind of paint is required for each section.

A phased sketch is often the first step in this process. Figure is usually needed when maximum similarity is required. Use a 2H pencil to highlight important elements, leaving pencil notes where the sketch has already been completed as part of the overall work.

A tool for watercolor "White Nights".

Today I will tell you about the environment for watercolors "White Nights". In environments, they are generally different. With different composition and effects. I, when it particularly took, I noticed to myself: "Oh, this increases the drying time of the flowers. Perhaps with his help you can make the perfect stretch. " It turned out that this environment is not at all about this)))This medium is based on an aqueous solution of gum arabic and is specially designed for working with watercolor. When using the medium, the brightness and color distribution of paints, the time of their drying, the appearance of gloss on the work surface increases. Can be used both in pure form and in water.

for which you can use this medium:

• - if you need bright and picturesque transitions between flowers;
• - if you need to shine in some parts of the picture;
• - if you use different effects "on wet". Due to the fact that the watercolor dries out longer, you have time to work with it while it is still wet.

My favorite paper for watercolor: white nights

Watercolor: white nightsBut remember that everyone chooses favorites for himself. And of course you need to try everything to find the perfect materials for yourself. 

Watercolor - PORTRAIT

Before starting to draw a portrait, I quickly sketched out pencil drawings of the composition, then chose the best outline of the pose and created a watercolor sketch using a photo as a basis.

Preparatory work

The artist must have the ability to create a strong emotional impression of the subject, and then retain this initial impression throughout the entire creative process. The presentation of this emotional impression is stronger and stronger with each step and “shines” through the final work. Before I start drawing, I create an image of the final result in my mind, based on an emotional impression.

Begin to determine the details.

Now go back to the head and run the second layer. It's time to focus on the definition of shadows and start building color transitions of the face.

Work with clothes

After you have added the basic definition of the shadows to the face and head, go down to process the neck and add the details to the clothes. Mix these red paints and paint.

We consider in our consciousness a love for an object, we try to depict this object and express its individuality in a picture, and each of our steps brings us closer and closer to the essence, which is the initial understanding of painting when it touches it.

Details

Usually this is the most pleasant part of the job, adding tone to the eyelids, shape of the nose, lips, ears and hands.

Satisfy that my initial impression of the character was conveyed to me on paper, this is more than just a photo, because it conveys everything I know about it.

In painting there is a huge selection of different materials for drawing. Each artist finds “his” instrument, he is the main one, he uses it most often. Today we will talk about the benefits of watercolor.

Watercolors are artistic paints that, when interacting with water, are diluted and dissolved, thereby creating the effect of lightness and transparency in work.

Art is ready! I hope you liked the result. I will always be glad to hear your opinion.

Tips for beginners:

Types of watercolor

There are several types of watercolors: children's and professional. We all painted honey watercolor in childhood. Its advantages are the price, it is much cheaper than a professional, and she, too, can draw magnificent works, but for beginners it’s better to start with an artistic one. Art watercolor is made in ditches and tubes, the advantages of these paints are that you can re-buy finished paints or collect your own set of necessary colors. The price also increases here, but it is fully justified by quality.

Watercolor paper

And water-color pencils, and water-colors paint on water-color paper, it has a high density, which allows using a large amount of water so that the paper does not tear.

Brushes

Brushes made from natural and synthetic fibers are suitable for watercolor. Natural brushes, for example, from squirrels, ponies and goats better absorb water and are suitable for large fillings, synthetic brushes are less hygroscopic, but they are more resilient and they are good at prescribing small details.

I love watercolor

With the help of watercolor you can draw magnificent paintings on any subject, whether it be a portrait, a landscape, a quick sketch, a still life. Watercolor has its own unique texture and lightness, allowing you to write airy and soft works of art.
