About myself

Hello Guys! Especially in @slothicorn community, I want to introduce myself, I'm Nisshi Raijenn Jeuz Sumangil, 21 years old. I'm a student, taking bachelor of Arts, Major in Multi Media Arts and I'm on my 4th year right now, soon to graduate this coming October. There are lots of field that we are studying when it comes to art, it may be photography, animation, and etc but I choose to focus in art illustration, right now I'm in the stage of working to be a graphic designer and artist.

How did I ended up here?

A friend of mine, who used to be a steemian, told me about @Slothicorn, since he observed that my posts are all are art related. So he gave me a litte bit of info about @slothicorn and then I had my research then I found out that, @slothicorn is great place for artists like me, they help a lot of artist in Steemit community. Especially those artists who are just starting in @steemit community where they give a recognition and boosts the artists post by upvoting and reesteeming their blog. In that way artist's work may have the chance to be seen by others, and that is really a big help for every artist.

So here's my art contribution for @slothicorn

This idea just came out of nowhere, I'm thinking of something unique and cute, and I ended up with this. (As what they say, think outside the box, as you can see I took it far and ended up being in the space)

THE PROCESS

First I start illustrating on a scratch, to those who are starting, a rough rough sketch will do (yeah a rough rough sketch). I then inserted in in adobe Illustrator CC.

Next, I slowly made traced the outlines (trust me, tracing is fun!!)

You can use shapes in tracing, that gives you more precise shape.

I then start to add hair strands of the sloth, In adding hair strands or fur you can be creative with it, you can use different style with the flow of hairs. (BTW, I've used shape fill, not a stroke, in adding color to my space sloth)

Next, one of my favorite, making the eye, sometimes in illustrating the subjects eye says it all, I really believe that the eye is the window of soul. It tells a thousand words. I just used shapes and gradient with the eye.

Then, working with the space suit, (in illustrating you can create our own style and detail guys! just like my suit and the head gear (I don't know the term, hehe), I just made it based on my imagination, don't be afraid to have your own styles, and you can also have references if you don't now where to start.

then adding shadows, make sure that your shadow is in the shade of your base color. you can just adjust it by lowering the color picker.

Next step, a sloth would not be complete without his horn, for it to be a slothicorn! So I just made a horn with a pastel color of pick, blue, yellow, green, (legendary colors of UNICORN)

Lastly, I add a post processed background done in illustrator, a galaxy, as you can see, I did not made it that realistic so it can blend well with my subject. and then I add a particles to give more feels and dramatic effect.
