Hello again friends, today I'm going to share my entry for the @Splinterlands art contest this week and this time I chose Lyanna Natura, this time I had an idea that I ended up not liking at all so I had to change several things, one of them was the background which I worked several times, as you know, I don't like to make sketches of the background but rather paint them last and without thinking so much about the details. Well, I wanted to make a pretty sweet face Lyanna, keeping the costume but changing the hair making her look a long and wavy hair, some leaves coming out of the suit that float as if she was spreading them where she walks, I used warm colors because I felt it went better with this card, I hope you like it.
I made my sketch for which I chose to make a half body drawing, I chose the colors to work with which were warm skin tones and some pale ones, I started to create the shadows and lights, I added new layers where I applied more colors, finally I started to mix all these colors to have a smooth skin, for the hair I used dark brown as a base and a blue tone on the dress.
I painted the details of the dress, making a game of lights and shadows to create the folds, then I started to add more color to the hair creating movement and volume, I changed a little the tone of the drawing as I felt it was all too pale, so I applied a color adjustment that gave that feeling a little warmer, I painted the leaves and the flower in the hair, as well as the branch that surrounds the waist, then it occurred to me to make the leaves flying out of the suit so I painted them, for the background I simply used green and yellow colors and created this out of focus background that seems to be a place full of nature.
For the final details, add some lights on the face but without overdoing it, then a slight color adjustment and a light in the sky that simulates the sun.
