- sketch and line art
I had a little bit of a hard time sketching Wrackoo because of the pose, hehe. I wanted a happy Wrackoo enjoying the warm weather and cool water. At first, I wanted to change the watermelon floatie to something with grass or leaves to match Wrackoo, but I thought the watermelon fit perfectly with the Summer vibe.
- base color and shading
Now, I added the teal color for the pool. I tried to change the watermelon to red, but it was too intense, so I just stuck to the color pink! 馃榿 I used an airbrush at hard pressure for the shading.
- background details
So, I just tried to copy the reference for the background here. I just figured out how to make all sense using the tools that I have, haha. And through the years of making digital art, I applied some techniques to achieve the "water".
Final
Here, I applied some sunlight bokehs and sparkles. Some nuances to wrap the art up. I am actually happy with the outcome! 馃槂
