Hello Everyone
I will be joining this week's art contest of Splinterlands, and this time, I've decided to draw a portrait of the Queen of Crows. I find it really hard to draw another while having the Inktober entries, but glad I was able to finish this one today.
ART PROCESS
Sketch
Clean sketch and Base Color
Adding the light and the darkest shadows
Then I started rendering them by softening the edges with smudge. This was the time when I kept mumbling to myself to trust the process as it looked weirder and weirder. After the smudging, I go back to some parts to paint them back as hard edges to avoid making them look muddy. Then I added the highlights on the skin using the same method; this is my favorite part of the process because it magically makes my portrait pop✨ with just those little hints of lights. I then painted the eyes and hair, I decided to paint the eyes in color to make her more appealing.
FINAL RESULT✨✨
Thank you for your time
Happy Weekend
