Hello everyone!!! my dear friends of #hive Today I continue with this challenge calmly hahaha what am I doing, taking everything relaxed, trying to do new things, expressing myself, feeling every step I take. I tell you, this character has no story, I just say yes, I did a brainstorming to make it, I loved it, I found it very sexy, and it's the first time I could illustrate this kind of legs, I had already tried and I did not get it, with the surprise that I really experimented, I tried things to make the fur of the satyr's legs. I really liked the final result. And finally I tell you that I could not capture the whole process because at one point I forgot. Hahaha I hope you like it.
The (incomplete) process
This is basically everything I could capture, I'm not going to show you my brainstorming, because I did it on paper and I didn't take pictures hahaha.
We started with the skeleton and I, well, I wanted it to have a playful pose, I didn't want it to be too thin, I wanted it to look sexy, at first I thought it would have black hair and purple skin, but in the process, I clearly changed my mind and here I come to show you...
I didn't have the slightest idea of how I would make the horns, I didn't look for references because I didn't know how to look for them and I had a clear idea of what I wanted, I wanted it to be a satyr, a woman, who had her fur on her legs but not from the waist down, like a traditional satyr, but something more modern.
Since I had my idea, it really attracted me a lot, it seduced me, I thought it was very nice, really.
I made the scarf in a different layer because I wanted it to be different from the main lines, I wanted it to be above it, so little by little, I'm adding details in a different color line, you know, little by little I'm evolving.
And at this point, not knowing how I'm going to do this part of the illustration, I venture to try, going ahead, taking mental notes of how I'm going to do these hairy legs.
Here I finish the legs and I feel very proud of how they turned out, they saw how many layers of hair went on top of each one, until I reached this result that seems to me satisfactory for my level of illustration.
Then I come and paint the other parts of the character, each color in a layer, separating everything to be able to make lights and shadows... And here, the tragedy happens, and I turn off the computer, and the next day, I continue drawing, thinking that at no time, I had kept a record of how I started the illustration.
I really thought that I had not captured anything and I said to myself "why am I going to start capturing from here?" and I continue my illustration without keeping a record, until I realize when I save the final result, that I had kept a small record at the beginning and well, here I am.
Final Artwork
I tell you, forgetting to capture the process is not the first time it has happened to me and it will not be the last time it will happen to me. I am a super forgetful person but I love to draw and here I am showing you my art, which is super cool for me, to be proud to show you my art and that you like it and that some of you share it, I am happy to see my growth everyday, I am trying to bring my confidence to the forefront to one day open commissions. I really hope you like it as much as I do. See you next time, with more calm, more creative process, more brainstorming, and more love for art.
