Art Process

For this character, I will be making a portrait size. 😊 The elements would be snow and blue sky. There will be some snowy pine trees in the background and of course, falling snow. How I wish we had a winter season here, but I kind of don't like too cold weather. 😅 It makes me sick. The head is in a 3/4 portrait pose looking on her left shoulder. A hooded clothing with a scarf. Lineart is a solid pencil brush, but later on, I will erase some lines.

The dominant color of the character is purple. I chose different shades of purple to separate the hair, clothing, and scarf. On a separate layer, I chose a deep red color for the iris. For the background color, I chose a faint baby blue and then, airbrush purple and light blue.

I added glow and shadow for the sclera of the eyes. For the brows, I chose a dark purple and added some brow hair. Next is the shadowing. I applied a darker shade of the base color. I applied on the cornered area. For the hair, I chose a red-violet color just for contrast since everything is on the shade of purple. Beneath the shadows, I applied a dull blue for an extra dimension to the clothing.

Intensifying the shadowing on the clothing. I assume the source light is coming from the left corner, so the dark part will be on the opposite side which is on the back part. Same for the hair, I added one more layer of shadowing and put on opacity. On the skin, I added some brownish-pink blush. Here, I added the snow by using the glitter brush and adjusted the size and density. I cannot find a nice snow brush in the asset store so, I just used what I have in my inventory. 😅 I added the snowy mountain and blurred it out.

Final Art

I added more snow in front of the character and used Gaussian motion blur. I put every layer in one folder and clipped a multiply layer. I added one more layer for the lightning. I put the lighting on the head, strands of hair, half of the face, and on the shoulder. I used a liquify tool to fix some proportions, especially on the eyes. Lastly, I added a noise monochrome.

Finished art!! 🥰 I enjoyed doing this art.
