This is my drawing of the hero of Warcraft 3, a fanart of this character that I really like. To do this, use a work by the great artist Alex Horley as a reference, look for him on instagram, see what he does that is fabulous!
I did it more my style (I mean DBZ type) I did it more in my style (I mean DBZ type) I added or changed things and I really liked the result.
To start: I made the sketch directly in digital (I did not do it in traditional as I usually do) and I used a thumbnail of the reference work to use as a guide.
Once the sketch is done, I clean the lines, and amaze the next step ...
... I used to paint with flat colors ;)
I make a very soft shadow with blue on a different layer ...
*Here we already put the leftovers defined for the volume of the shapes *
I add a green for the tattoos and the eyes ...
In a new layer add colors in degrade to give effects in the shadows and enhance Illidan's tattoos :O
I enhance with a slight white aura around the body and color the background with a greenish yellow
Some pincells and degrading effects ...
I keep putting colors and shadows in the background
Some lighting effects, details here and there and FINISHED THE ILLIDAN!
