Splinterlands art contest #274 ( Enchanted Pixie)
Every week Splinterlands community on Hive holds a art contest . To participate in it you have to draw one of their card from Splinterlandscards.com in your own art style .
Any medium can be used for the contest . I take part in this contest every week and this week I'm drawing a very kawai character that is Enchanted Pixie .
The Character was cute in its own self it's a Pixie with pixie cut pink hair . The dress Is made up off two pieces fully covered in leaves and the wings are like a butterfly in color yellow and blue . Eyes of this character have yellow pupils but the scalera is all gray .
Over all the character has a chibi body with alot of vibrant elements .
So firstly I drew the sketch roughly by seeing how the wings are formed the ratio of face and body proportions the pixie hair cut . I took tried drawing a chibi version . I sketched her skirt and top too with leaves .
Now I imported this sketch into a digital drawing app called medibang paint pro. With Pen sharp brush I started tracing each element on a different layers . Like the dress ,skin , wings and hair were all on different layers and here is our Lineart ready
Now I filled in the flat colors on different layers just like the lineart after this I clipped a layer on top of the skin layer and shaded the skin with a darker color and guassian blurred it so it looks real . Then I shaded the leaves with green and yellow added some shading too . Same for the wings I added some soft highlights and shading for the shading layers I use multiply blending mode and for highlights I either use add or hard light blending mode.
Now I colored the lineart and added more shading to the mouth and for the hair I used a dry brush and used a pale pink color to make this fluffy texture and with a light brush I added highlights on top of the hair and set it to add lowered the opacity a bit so the hair look shiny
For the scelera I did gray and the eye lens I made it yellow just like the original character . Now before I add more details to eyes I went and made a gradient green to brown background .
Now I made a horizon and colored it in Brown color so it looks like ground and added some tree trunks in back with a rough brush and I added some leaves to the back and added some trees Infront the back ones were a little lighter . So you can see how with some simple steps we made a forest background for our pixie .
Now for the eyes I added some gradient by air brushing red over yellow and added some pale yellow sparkles with a sparkle brush and set the layer to add . This makes the eyes look glittery and glowy .
Finally I made some light adjustments by putting a blue layer on top and setting it to saturation then I added some swirly light and glitter around our pixie. Added my water mark and here is the final result ❤️
Hope you like it . That's all for today Thank you for your precious time and support ❤️
