I started making a sketch with the main idea I had in mind, then with a blue pencil I began to order and clean the sketch little by little, starting with the character which being simple I simply played with some basic figures to compose it in its entirety, once I had the character I wanted to place it in a certain way inside a bottle which would be another character within the composition. Little by little I added extra details such as the shape of the water, some bubbles and the character's weapon which would be another mini character in the illustration. Once I had my sketch ready and clean enough I started to apply the inking or lineart, for this I used the same line thickness in almost all the elements except for some smaller details of the illustration in which I applied a little less thickness in order not to overload the elements too much.
Comenc茅 realizando un boceto con la idea principal que ten铆a en mente, posteriormente con un l谩piz de color azul comenc茅 a ordenar y limpiar el boceto poco a poco, comenzando por el personaje el cual al ser sencillo simplemente fui jugando con algunas figuras b谩sicas para componerlo en su totalidad, una vez tenia al personaje quise de cierto modo ubicarlo dentro de una botella la cual seria otro personaje dentro de la composici贸n. Poco a poco fui agregando detalles extras como la forma del agua, algunas burbujas y el arma del personaje la cual ser铆a otro mini personaje dentro de la ilustraci贸n. Una vez tenia mi boceto listo y lo suficientemente limpio comenc茅 a aplicar el entintado o lineart, para este utilice un mismo grosor de l铆nea en casi todos los elementos a excepci贸n de algunos detalles mas peque帽os de la ilustraci贸n en la cual aplique un grosor un poco menor para no sobrecargar mucho los elementos.
Once the sketch was finished I started to apply the base colours, being an aquatic character I wanted to play with some shades of blue for both the character and the water bottle, therefore, I used 4 base shades of blue, the darkest for the character and the lightest for the water. To generate the shadows I used a violet colour with low/medium opacity which allowed me to give the shadows to all the elements of the illustration.
Terminado el boceto comenc茅 a aplicar los colores base, al tratarse de un personaje acu谩tico quise jugar con algunos tonos de color azul tanto para el personaje como para la botella de agua, por ende, utilice 4 tonos base de color azul, los mas oscuros para el personaje y los mas claros para el agua. Para generar las sombras utilice un color violeta con baja/media opacidad el cual me permiti贸 darle las sombras a todos los elementos de la ilustraci贸n.
To finish I applied some light to the illustration, I added some extra bubbles as well as the glitter of the water, eyes and bigger bubbles. Finally to give volume to the bottle I added two levels of light and I also coloured the lines of the lineart that were inside the water as I was really bothered by the black line in the background. Once finished the colouring of all the elements to complete this illustration I put a dark blue background to which later I added a small colour gradient.
Para terminar apliqu茅 un poco de luz a la ilustraci贸n, fui agregando algunas burbujas extras as铆 como los brillos del agua, ojos y burbujas mas grandes. Finalmente para darle volumen a la botella le coloque dos niveles de luz y tambi茅n le d铆a color a las l铆neas del lineart que estaban dentro del agua ya que realmente me molestaba la l铆nea de color negro en el fondo. Una vez terminado el coloreado de todos los elementos para completar esta ilustraci贸n le coloque un fondo de color azul oscuro al cual posteriormente le agregue un peque帽o degrade de color.
