Hi y'all! Here is another art I made for this week's contest. It took me sooo long to decided for the piece that I would want to make but in the end, I chose a semi-realistic portrait of the card Water Caller.

Here are my step by step process:

Step 1

I started by coloring the background gray. It helps me set the mood of the piece and also helps me get into the zone.

Step 2

I then began drawing my character in grayscale. I used a reference for this character which would be included in my reference section.I did not make any line art for this one since I want to practice a loose and bold way of painting.

Step 3

I, then added the hands. I drew it on a separate layer so I could edit it freely.

Step 4

I then adjusted the values of my grayscale.

Step 5

Next is I added the colors. I did this by setting the layer mode into overlay. This way, I don't have to redraw the grayscale I made earlier since the color will be adjusted based on the midtome and shadow part of the painting earlier.

Step 6

Next is I added some blush on her cheeks and some colors to the lips. I also added some colors to the skin but it was subtle so that it won't take the focal point of the piece.

Step 7

I then added the vignette.

Step 8

Then, finally, I aaded another subtle color but this time so that the eyes of the viewer will focus on the face to finish it up.
