Warrior 🐺🐺🐺- Illustrative process.

English

Hello hivers, welcome.

Although very little I have been active in hive I must say that I keep drawing day by day working on some commissions, this helps me a lot to improve myself since I had always drawn for myself, and now interacting with someone and basing the art on some guides and instructions from someone else has seemed interesting to me, well many times they are video game characters, where sometimes they have references and others I just have to guide me with some description so it's more work hehe. So today I want to show you this assignment, which consisted of a portrait of a warrior who is of the werewolf species, it was a process of elaboration of several days because I wanted the textures and finishes to come out very well. Here is my process.

In the sketch I was asked to please incorporate a sword, so I went from doing a portrait to almost a half body, which for me was a little better because I'm trying to practice more that kind of thing and vary the style in the process. After I had a sketch I started painting, the color palette was limited between browns and grays ;3

I started with his face, made it as smooth and detailed as possible and then incorporated some of the fur. The armor is composed of leather and metal, although the first material could barely be seen because the metal part is quite large, almost like a medieval armor.

I added textures, some with the help of brushes, others by hand. The sword and the part of the arms has the silhouette of a dragon engraved, I placed details of brightness and shadows so that it could be perceived. This dragon is also part of a necklace that the character has, but because of the angle of the arm that holds the sword it was not going to be noticed.

For the background I was only asked to be red, but lately I try to work with light effects even if the background is something simple, so that's what I did this time. For me this illustration was a challenge as far as the metallic part is concerned, even so I liked it a lot, this is the result. :D See you next time.
