Hey All.

How are you?

I've again arrived with another one of my digital drawings. I'm so happy that my last work got so much response from you all. I'm a newbie in digital drawing, yet you guys gave me a lot of inspiration and suggestions also. These are really inspiring. The character I dew today is quite common on Splinterlands and known by everyone I guess. It's a fire summoner called **Tarsa**. I really liked her furious eyes and choose to draw her. It took me three days to complete this drawing. It's because, no matter how many trials I did, I wasn't being able to bring out the expected outcome. I had a beautiful glowing image of her in my mind but the drawing wasn't ending up like what I had in my mind. And I can't let go of things when I set them for once in my mind. I even tried other body figures so that I can bring out the main idea even through another figure/pose. When none of it was working out, I looked into some short youtube tutorials and after 3days of work, I was able to create this one. I'm sure it's normal for all of you. Because I see all your creations in the contest and compared to them mine is almost nothing. But, for me, it's one of my best works.

I'm submitting this post to share my fan art of TARSA with you all and to participate in the weekly art contest arranged by Hive account@splinterlands. I'll add the link to the contest below. I used my graphics tablet connected to my laptop to draw this one.

My Drawing

The first challenge was to draw her face structure and her hair. The whole drawing depends on this first step and this structure. So, this part was the one I had to struggle the most. Just trying to bring out the perfect face shape, gave me a hard time. The first step was to draw her face including the eyes. And then I focused on her hair. I tried to make the hairs look like they were floating in the air and then worked on her body and then on her dress step by step. I used the graphite pencil tool in ibis paint to draw this step.

Then I drew the background with a paintbrush tool and drew the yellow lines of hair with a pen tool. Then I re-touched her hair with a red brush. I mixed these colors to make it blend with the glowing fire mode that I'm going to draw next. I also drew her eyes in this step. To do this I used some crystal colors.

In this step, I completed her face and then drew the first step of the dress. I also drew the fire on her hand and did some minor changes to her hair also. With this step completed, drawing the basics are done. Now, it's time to glow her up.

I completed this part in two steps. First I completed her dress. I used both pen and pencil to draw the lines and to draw the navy blue color on her dress, I used a brush tool too. Then came the part of giving her hair a final shape. First I use the brush tool to give it the final touch and then used a pen tool to finalize her hair shape.

Then came the finishing part. First I completed drawing her hair. To complete it I used the pen tool with orange and yellow colors. Then I started working on the next step. In this step, I drew the fire using red, orange, yellow, and light yellow colors combined. I did it to make it glow like real fire. I also added some sparkle of fire too.
