As always, I started with a sketch for the pose and composition of the character. I want to have some explosion at the back 🙂 From the sketch, I already like how it looks like and I'm very excited how will it turns out in the final illustration. 😁
✨✨✨
![2.png](https://images.ecency.com/p/NTy4GV6ooFRmaCXZ8UYgPhoud1kjiNX8QokLEZtbBKLuLWQ9yt7K3o4LT6DHSYSVZ1MtJGPjxtVZFijW1KXsEKKgz2EfX2KRFLqtDUej9xGgawtPzEyZto3vwWHJ1dqnckuNzdo4vtBmCx9gzgykTibiw1S1CierS54Xi3x2.png?format=match&mode=fit)
After the rough sketch I did the clean line art of the character. Not so much in the background though because I want to focus this more on the character.
✨✨✨
![3.png](https://images.ecency.com/p/NTy4GV6ooFRmaCXZ8UYgPhoud1kjiNX8QokLEZtbBKLuLWQ9yt7K3o4LT6DHSYSVZ1MtJGPjxQAdxFmKGZ9AjcycbQz4kVDhWUgCeigU4FUYTwrevyjMuHTcQyw92ejSn3bem284oGgURiAmqbxV8hgsrHgebAK6zb4m1Lzr.png?format=match&mode=fit)
This is my preference I color the character's line art with a maroon color.
✨✨✨
![4.png](https://images.ecency.com/p/NTy4GV6ooFRmaCXZ8UYgPhoud1kjiNX8QokLEZtbBKLuLWQ9yt7K3o4LT6DHSYSVZ1MtJGPkZxTeWdR32vaxR16CChdJXEMFoKTM9r77ycyRLTLXJxesAuPRtUBpHdSHYRG4YsMzETNw1KbyVRuw3dhHtXw1f5Pym5dVVazz.png?format=match&mode=fit)
In here, I added the base color or flat colors. I put layer under the line art of the character.
✨✨✨
![5.png](https://images.ecency.com/p/NTy4GV6ooFRmaCXZ8UYgPhoud1kjiNX8QokLEZtbBKLuLWQ9yt7K3o4LT6DHSYSVZ1MtJGPkjYBkKL3Em6gpZRFC2UrMSgTHvNXBDMuPuXsUKoYFgKdvqQxP1pQVVaTL5frC7584uApYiNcv1HQMqoN2UV2YAa9VeiRMs5PC.png?format=match&mode=fit)
To avoid confusion I hide the lines of the explosion and add the base color of the ground.
✨✨✨
![6.png](https://images.ecency.com/p/NTy4GV6ooFRmaCXZ8UYgPhoud1kjiNX8QokLEZtbBKLuLWQ9yt7K3o4LT6DHSYSVZ1MtJGPkA3wd6CGJ8ek4CARuefNV1T2NfgPXGFXJxq37qBruEPZCgfCRKvzDkyJRTvAgv4RLtM1BJmU1kNP8WUaXqDNpfoXqqsMV1Jw8.png?format=match&mode=fit)
I hide the line art of the ground I think it's cool to see it without line art. Then I add the explosion at the back of the character. I start with a maroon color and some explosion shape.
✨✨✨
![7.png](https://images.ecency.com/p/NTy4GV6ooFRmaCXZ8UYgPhoud1kjiNX8QokLEZtbBKLuLWQ9yt7K3o4LT6DHSYSVZ1MtJGPkA42JAhT76d2cuyMPQArc3qfigmMEVMPCXZevnYd91cYT5Ab7rAECZF1cbLVhh7XHmY8YSkzZESHZMPC7e5RHvbU3juNmC37k.png?format=match&mode=fit)
I add some darker orange inside the maroon shape.
✨✨✨

Then some orange color variations above the dark orange layer.
✨✨✨

Then I add some yellow color for a lighter effect.
✨✨✨

I add some lighter yellow that is close to white for some highlights.
✨✨✨

Then a reddish color that is set to hard light blend mode.
✨✨✨

I change the maroon color to purple to add some contrast.
✨✨✨
![13.png](https://images.ecency.com/p/NTy4GV6ooFRmaCXZ8UYgPhoud1kjiNX8QokLEZtbBKLuLWQ9yt7K3o4LT6DHSYSVZ1MtJGPkkgHzrWavf7oVAEPQbb2hwBHcQomxz16xoAc2RMpWaRNCrZfyAkyLz2E9QvKapJkAgQFrx3rCEPk1qgZpfdHtZkcyrCycfLQe.png?format=match&mode=fit)
I'm done with the explosion part so I add the sky background.
✨✨✨
![14.png](https://images.ecency.com/p/NTy4GV6ooFRmaCXZ8UYgPhoud1kjiNX8QokLEZtbBKLuLWQ9yt7K3o4LT6DHSYSVZ1MtJGPkkgJ1NJ8nsJRqy64VoomBkJa3HpKpgCXmBmS8Yh27cUbczY52heSTnYiDbFrvjuQdyMdcop2LthkZBZGpNAwaXEjLM5L3dpvi.png?format=match&mode=fit)
Here I add some darker shades of the ground to give it some depth.
✨✨✨
Now that I'm done with the backgrounds I start to focus on the character. First I add some red tones to the cheeks, nose, lips and hands. Also around the hair as well.
✨✨✨
![16.png](https://images.ecency.com/p/NTy4GV6ooFRmaCXZ8UYgPhoud1kjiNX8QokLEZtbBKLuLWQ9yt7K3o4LT6DHSYSVZ1MtJGPkvjcCJRjb4vtQyMaVVfvhZ2LGu1LJ94ntej6DpSqJtbpbjagYFSkncfVsdU4prm1bNm728ZFh39czZ5RHRstt9uedrR3Ct3Mp.png?format=match&mode=fit)
Here I add the overall shadow of the character that is set to multiply blending mode.
✨✨✨
![17.png](https://images.ecency.com/p/NTy4GV6ooFRmaCXZ8UYgPhoud1kjiNX8QokLEZtbBKLuLWQ9yt7K3o4LT6DHSYSVZ1MtJGPkwBPqpaxB5fGnuZX6vnWryTsFR9wXN7jrF5Yns1SA5X4zuFdBiMBvqyEjnhGuuSdK47Vwy9oEUZumFfvgAuDkCyaMNzjh3XBU.png?format=match&mode=fit)

✨✨✨
![18.png](https://images.ecency.com/p/NTy4GV6ooFRmaCXZ8UYgPhoud1kjiNX8QokLEZtbBKLuLWQ9yt7K3o4LT6DHSYSVZ1MtJGPkvjcCJUwNE5zEcAJknr8FnLvhdJVvXVyV1UF8fvxqJcuRNr47f58m6kUfsf4LepbA9aqt5ETyGtrFfLm7DuG2cAAYgh4ZD1hQ.png?format=match&mode=fit)

✨✨✨

And after all that blending mode things in photoshop I merge all the layer into one and start to render. I started at the face are specifically in the eye. Love how it turns out.
✨✨✨
![21.png](https://images.ecency.com/p/NTy4GV6ooFRmaCXZ8UYgPhoud1kjiNX8QokLEZtbBKLuLWQ9yt7K3o4LT6DHSYSVZ1MtJGPkwshK5FRqoceJjkmCFA8NDcpuRDgcrqZV9C23vSGA6nZKNnCU3Wzb2ovAc7wsJrn5KSNZEjXppiGSYTg5S4uQFFDttfibtRBC.png?format=match&mode=fit)
Render everything and this is the character's look after.
✨✨✨

I add some orange arial effects above the explosion and finish the illustration.
