👋
I haven't done a holozing fanart in a while so I felt inspired again and this time I wanted to draw something water themed. The female ocean healer is one of my favourite cards, she's such a beautiful sight and I just wish I could draw her all the time. Drawing water can be simple, fun and frustrating depending on your mood, experience level or how complex and detailed you want it to be.
PROCESS
I already have a similar sketch in my sketchbook but it didn't match the idea perfectly so I did another sketch and changed some things like her hair and other little details. I painted her skin and hair first before adding facial features and added her neck piece. I added more volume to her hair with a soft brush, I used to be very scared of painting with the soft brush because it makes my work muddy but I found a way around it so we're good friends now🫂
For the rendering, I first used a soft brush to add shadows to different areas of her skin and it looked meh and muddy😐 I then went in with a sightly hard brush to add harsh lines to make it look better. This is a technique I learned from a artist, rossdraws and I love it. After painting her skin, I began to add more details, bigger and smaller strands to her hair. I painted her neckpiece with the shells, stars and other beads in there...
I started working on the background and painted some light waves and fishes. I love adding bubbles when I paint water so I did that and also added some to her face.
This is the final work and I really love the final outcome and I hope you love it too. Have a very amazing Sunday....
