Bila the radiant | Splinterlands contest week 205

Hey ho~ I'm back from wherever it is I came from
I spent the whole afternoon sleeping then sketching today. I was supposed to draw a lot more today but since watercolor tends to eat up so much time, I only got around to doing one drawing today and that happens to be Bila the radiant!

I've been wanting to do this on digital, actually. I've tried, of course, ut ultimately, it doesn't come close to what my traditional render shows.

Here, I've already taped her to my journal because I couldn't take a decnet shot without the paper falling.

For the materials: I used yellow ink for the background, Saemiart watercolor, white ink, and a black pen

Total duration: 1 hour, and some 3 minutes or so

So here are the progression shots. Or at least, the ones I remembered to take whenever I finish a watercolor layer (I'm forgetful with taking progression shots, okay-)

Up to here is all watercolor and then I left it for a while because I had to cook dinner for the fam

Then from this point on, I just focused on they dry medium and on inking a few layers in to give it a bit more shape and details.

So this is how far my digital attempt went, as you can see, I got lazy on the detailing part XD
