ULOTH DHAMPIR.
This week has been an interesting but stressful week. For some days now I've been under the weather and as a result canceled a number of jobs I should've filled. This feeling of helplessness is strange to me and as much as possible I try not to get in this state. This is one of the reasons I chose this character, she is ready to fight for that which she wants. And also I wanted to flaunt my Green ink a bit. The instinct that kicks in when survival is threatened is very powerful and I hope I was able to capture this in my entry.
There's a number of things I wish to say but I'll let the steps do the talking...
Originally when I was editing I noticed a lot of difference between this lineart I drew using my Blue pen and the later steps but what more could I do, the deed was done. You can see how well I spelt everything...
As is my usual practice, I recapped the process all over again. This was somehow fun as it was almost as if I was tracing lines. I corrected some postures in this step that I felt were off. I didn't do everything apparently but the change is obvious.
after my path was set I immediately painted the figure Red, or atleast the parts that were Red. When I was doing this I thought of the phrase "we'll paint the streets Red".
The next thing I did was to add some Yellow colouring which my friends is also new 😁
Honestly speaking, at this point I didn't know what colour to fill in as par the clothes. I just improvised and shaded it back with some blue. I did the same thing for the hair and staff.
Moving on, I coloured the face with my Green pen which I introduced last week in my post.
Lastly I tried achieving some realism. It's not obvious but I think it's enough.
The materials I used while making this sketch are Blue, Black, Green, Yellow and Red pens from four (4) brands.
