Good morning! I'm finally finished drawing and submitting my entries for the cutest character in the galaxy contest. Last month, the art program Clip Studio Paint announced another art contest, International Illustration Contest 2020 with the theme "The Cutest Character in The Galaxy". The deadline was actually last night but then I saw other users submitting entries so I drew more entries. I actually submitted five entries. Lol. The prizes are nice, it's too hard to let it pass. I wish I win a prize which includes the LCD tablet. With so many great entries, the chances are odd but let's claim victory! (Clinging to law of attraction. 😂)
The contest was for the celebration of the Clip Studio Paint's launch for Samsung Galaxy devices.

International Illustration Contest 2020: The Cutest Character In The Galaxy
Here's my first entry:
"GALAXY PAINTING"
On my first entry, I drew a chic lady with eye-catching galaxy print on her headband and garment. I actually don't know how I came up with her outfit, I just doodled and then decided if I like it for my character. Meanwhile, her shoes is inspired by the Dr.Martens Eudora shoes. I actually saw the shoes being advertised on Facebook a few days ago, I was tempted to buy it because the shoes looks cute and beautiful but the only size available might be small for me.
Anyway, the main idea for creating this drawing is the brush. I imagine the character carrying a huge paint brush and painting the galaxy by opening an area on the background. I drew her carrying the brush behind her shoulders so it doesn't obstruct her body. It's also similar to how BABYMETAL carry their flags at the intro of their song "Road of Resistance".
The way I colored my entries are quite different because I used different shades of colors for the shadows. Look at her orange outfit for example. Instead of a darker shade of orange, I used a shade of blue for the shadow.
I love how this drawing turned out. Even though her left leg looks weird. Hehe! I was quite in a rush doing the background too since I am beating the deadline. So there you go, a simple yet colorful background. Lol. Master procrastinator! The galaxy paint looks cute though.
SKETCH
Medium: Digital (Wacom Intuos Comic)
Program: Clip Studio Paint Debut
Time: Approximately 4 Hours
Well, just in case you are wondering how my sketch for this drawing looked like. Hehe! Her left leg looked less weird on the sketch. Ugh.
The canvas is A4 size with 300 dpi resolution since it's the recommended dimensions for the contest, however, my drawing's file size exceeded the maximum file size which is 5 MB. I'm not sure how to reduce the file size since I only followed the dimensions recommended. Reducing the canvas size and resolution could affect the quality of the drawing so I just went on and submitted it. Hopefully they accept my entries.
