Good night or good morning everyone, hope u all doing great.
So this time I tried something kinda different. I got inspired by the Forest Healer and Miu, that cute lil creature that’s somehow both sweet and mysterious. I ended up mixing both ideas and added this fluffy hat thingy ‘cause it looked way too adorable to skip lol.
Tbh this piece was harder than I expected. I started the sketch in Corel Painter, then moved it to Photoshop for the details and final touches. The anime style isn’t something I usually do, so yeah .... This was a real challenge for me. Keeping the lines clean while still making them feel alive took me quite a while ngl.
The hardest part for me is still the linework. I know it sounds simple, but clean, confident lines can be surprisingly tough to pull off. I ended up redrawing the sketch several times, cleaning and tweaking it until it finally looked how I wanted..
But honestly, it was fun pushing myself out of my comfort zone. I didn’t even use that many tools, just a textured brush and the smudge tool, that’s it. It was kinda cool seeing how much you can do with so little. It’s not perfect, but that’s kinda what I like about it😌😁.
The process was intense but a lot of fun. I also love the contrast in this piece, the cute character sipping a milkshake in this sorta dark background. It gives off this calm yet mysterious vibe, which is exactly what I wanted to capture. Like, something cozy but with a tiny spark of fantasy.
Oh and the milkshake! That part was sooo fun to paint. I wanted it to look tasty, shiny, and full of textures, almost like you could actually grab it. Those small details made me enjoy the whole process way more. I felt like drinking one. ahahhah
In the end, it took time, but I really liked how it turned out. Zingtober’s all about exploring and having fun, right? So yeah, this one was a slow but sweet ride
Thank you very much for taking the time to view my work.
Oh, and one more thing before I wrap up...
A while ago I was looking for this little shark you see down here 🦈. It’s really special to me. I won it a long time ago here, n it was done by a person many years ago but also I consider a GREAT GREAT GREAT FRIEND now n who does amazing work , very talented🤗.
I thought I had lost it , I was very sad… but noooo! I got it back! Yes ! He found n sent it to me again, and I’m so happy to have it with me once more.
So from now on, this shark will be keeping me company 💙
