Medusa - Splinterlands Art Contest Week 212!

My entry for this week is not my usual digital art or animated splinterlands images. Yesterday I bought some coloring materials because I want to try manual art.

I bought 24 water-colored pencils, I want to try and learn how to use them that's why I bought one.

My Entry for this week is Medusa

Steps

First I sketched how I want my Medusa to look like

2nd I traced it with gel pen

3rd I erased the pencil strokes

4th I colored the background

5th I colored the image of medusa but just the base color for now.

6th I highlighted the image using darker colors

7th

I thickened the outline and darkened the color, then I smudged the color using a brush dipped in water.

I didn't know that using colored pencil is so tiring and will make your fingers hurt. So far, I like the result, will try to learn more about water color pencil to improve my next art.

Thanks for dropping by and taking a look at my Splinterlands Art Entry
