Hey Guys how are you doing ? Today we go back in time and draw Android 18. My first female crush :D

The Work

Per usual I like to start by making a black and white sketch.

I choose some flower themed colors and texture.

Add a bit of Hive.

At first I added these rays in color :#13e3bf since it´s the complemetary color of the Hive red.

But it didnt give me the right vibe so I went with the classic gold: #ffd700.

I added the Dragon Balls I used in my previous pictures and "straightened" the rays a bit.

Here I added some gaussian blur on the yellow rays I think it looks a bit better. What do you think ?

Edit:
Gave her a little shadow as well and blured the hive logo a bit as well so that there is a clear forground figure.
