Splinterlands art contest | Cute Dark Enchantress
Hello friends, I hope you are very well.
Today I want to participate in the weekly contest of @Splinterlands with a card that I like a lot, only once I have made a version of this card and in that opportunity I was not completely satisfied, that's why today I decided to make a new version a little more colorful and in a more tender style, I wanted to show an opposite version of Dark Enchantress that we see in the card, with a frowning expression, malevolent, this time I wanted the opposite, I really enjoyed the process of creating this drawing even though it was quite difficult, I'm adapting more and more to this style that I use mostly for my Splinterlands characters where I try to be a little less realistic when painting faces, but keeping the details that I like to do in the skin, I hope you like it.
I made the sketch, this time I wanted to make a half body drawing, I came up with this pose that is like sitting, I liked the idea, something that was very difficult was to draw the fingers, the position of the hands was very complicated, but I tried my best, I chose the colors to work, I used pink and purple tones, in a new layer I added more colors, to give the full shape to the face, I began to blur and mix the colors of the skin to give a smooth finish and then I put a base tone to the dress using a dark gray-greenish color.
I added the details to the dress, using dark and light colors to create the folds of the clothes, I used a yellow color that simulates gold but somewhat desaturated to create the other details of the dress, I filled the hair with gray and the hat with a similar tone to the clothes, then I started to add more colors to the hair, using various shades of gray and white, I also painted the folds of the hat giving it more movement and realism, to paint the broomstick, I added a rectangle shape and with a hair texture brush I painted the broom.
I painted the hands, I had a hard time with that part, I think it took me a long time there but finally I didn't give so many details since it doesn't look too much, I added more colors to the broom making it look more real, painting shadows and lights, I also painted the necklace using the same scale of golds that I used in the details of the dress, I placed a dark blue background and drew some stars, then I added more colors varying between grays and blues, light and dark, I came up with a moon but with a different shape, giving it a more artistic look using white and sky blue and pastel blue tones, I painted the silhouette of some tree branches on the left side, then I added some light details to highlight certain parts of the face and body, finally I edited the image adjusting a little the saturation, exposure and contrast of the drawing.
