Hello friends on Hive and Holozing.
It's been a long time I posted on this space. I was off for good - to learn and equip myself for better delivery. I successfully got a new phone and unskilled in digital art. Starting out with the creature - "Shinaara ". I Iove its gallantry looks. It would be a perfect companion in the Holozing forest
Tools and Materials Used
A sketch pad, an HB pencil, eraser, and my Samsung Galaxy phone.
App Used
IBISPAINT X.
Art Process
Creating Shinaara, the gallantry deer-like creature racing through the holozing forest, is my first digital creation after my upskiling session. It started with a rough sketch on paper. Using simple, loose lines, the basic shape and pose of Shinaara was defined. Key features such as the flowing fur, antlers, and flowers were blocked in. The forest environment was also roughly sketched, with trees and plants framing the scene.
I snapped the sketch into my phone where I used the IBISPAINT X app to refine and paint same. In the third stage, flat colors were applied to the artwork. I started with Shinaara's face down to the fur with rainbow-like hues. The antlers and flowers were then painted in complementary colours to enhance their quality. The forest background was filled with shades of green, while the lighting hints at a glowing atmosphere. I then added depth and dimension, shading and highlights to make Shinaara's artwork visually engaging.

Creating Shinaara's art took about 2 days but I was happy about the outcome. Looking forward to take reviews from other great artists here.
