Hey!
First thing to do is to sketch what you want to make, and adjust where you need. First I draw the body and added the scales to it
Then I've created the shadow in the face and the body. This was the point where I have chosen to make her hair black with on both sides 2 strokes of green/blue hair. I used acryllic pencils for the colouring
Here comes the tricky part, at some points especially with the darker colours and small spaces to fill in, It's important to be carefull with the water on top of the drawing. I used my pencil with a little water on the tip to fill in with colour.
Also I provided her scales and her green/blue hair with some glitter for extra shine
After she dried up, I went in with a fineliner to give the drawing details like the eyes and lips. Everywhere I lined her body to make her more pop out
I loved how it turned out, and I love the proces of it
I also am curious about making this art in a digital way
