Hey Guys how are you doing ? Today we go back in time and draw Android 18. My first female crush :D

If you don´t know her , im sorry.

Go watch old Dragon Ball Z until you love him <3.

The Work

Per usual I like to start by making a black and white sketch.

Coloring

I choose some flower themed colors and texture.

Background

Black to blue (00238e) gradient

Add a bit of Hive.

At first I added these rays in color :#13e3bf since it´s the complemetary color of the Hive red.

But it didnt give me the right vibe so I went with the classic gold: #ffd700.

Final touch

I added the Dragon Balls I used in my previous pictures and "straightened" the rays a bit.

Here I added some gaussian blur on the yellow rays I think it looks a bit better. What do you think ?

Edit:
Gave her a little shadow as well and blured the hive logo a bit as well so that there is a clear forground figure.

I hope you like it
Ana
