Hi Steemers!
Last year, the Character Design Challenge
( https://www.facebook.com/groups/CharacterDesignChallenge/) proposed a very nice theme: The Carnival of Venice. All that fantasy and magnificent costumes made me want to participate!
I took a few reference images on Internet, that inspired me for the costume, the atmosphere, the colors,...
Then I began to draw, directly in a new document, with Photoshop. I was inspired by the skulls, and choose to use them as theme for the disguise...
And here is finaly the line that satisfied me :-) I was ready to put colors on it!
As usual, the first step is to put somme flatted colors, and then add details, adjust the color balance and the levels. In step 5, I made a symetry to check if all looked allright.
And here is the final result!
I hope you liked it, because I had a lot of fun doing it :-)
If you enjoy my work, please don't forget to upvote, resteem, and follow. Thank you!
See you soon with a new painting!
Hélène
