Good evening friends, today I feel in a better mood and I started a new drawing with a lot of patience and dedication, although I'm still a little sensitive these days and it cost me too much to do this drawing, I wanted to finish it and put all the enthusiasm possible, today I want to present this version of Djinn Renova for the art contest of @Splinterlands is the second time I draw this card and although I like it a lot, it is always difficult to draw the “smoke” that covers half of her body, I did the best I could and the result is not excellent but I liked it.
Last time I did a portrait, this time I wanted a half body drawing, I knew it would be a challenge because I come from a very bad streak of blocking and drawing, but I decided to try, this time I wanted to make her hair loose and very long, covering all the back with wave movements, I started to paint with dark and light skin colors, leaving the light on the left side and the shadows on the right, in a new layer I added more colors to give more shape to all the skin, I started to mix the colors until I left a soft result, then I painted the hair with a reddish brown base color.
I added highlights and shadow to the hair to give it volume and movement, then I painted the top, a desaturated cream color and small folds in the fabric, I made up the eyes with an aqua green eyeliner and then painted the gold necklace, for the background I wanted to use blue and cyan tones, I wanted to experiment drawing small lines in the background with circular shapes and I liked it a lot, I painted the smoke which was the most difficult part, honestly it wasn't that good but I couldn't do more, I had a headache from so much stress, I painted her crown and then I added a layer of lights where I placed small illuminations in some areas of the face, I finished editing the image to my liking.
