Hi guys! I'm back again to share another artwork of mine which is again inspired by the Hieu Nguyen's artworks, an Instagram artist and a YouTuber who I admire so much because of his whimsical style in painting. Before I introduce my artwork, I would just want to thank everyone for the support and love. You guys are amazng!
So, here it is, my 22nd artwork here in steemit. This took me 4 hours to finish. I'm glad that the process was smooth sailing. Constant practice really pays off, guys. I don't have much to say though, because again, it was smooth sailing for me and I did not have a rough time painting unlike in my previous artwork (Click here to view) in which even though I managed to somehow make it look nice and neat but as the song We are the Champions goes, "I've had my share of sand kicked in my face". Enough chit-chat, here goes the materials and process. š
Materials
All photos are mine and I used my Oppo A37 in taking these pictures. And the materials that I used were:
āļø Pentel Arts Color Pencils
āļø White Pen
āļø Water
āļø Tissue
āļø Watercolor set
āļø Paintbrushes
āļø Eraser
āļø HB Staedtler pencil
āļø Berkeley watercolor pad
āļø 0.3 Fine Tech Pen
Process
I did the sketch.
Then I applied the base colors using watercolor all over her skin and onto her hair, respectively.
While waiting for the watercolor on the hair to dry, I started adding details and shadows on the skin. I darkened her lips and also, I painted some color on her eyes and brows. Now the watercolor on her hair is dry, I then painted another layer over it.
A lot of things happened here. I applied watercolor to her dress, and also applied another layer of color on her hair and brows. Then, I did the background. After the all the watercolors are dry, I used color pencils to further add details on the shadows and color of her skin.
Then I started inking which I enjoy and fear the most. LOL. I used my 0.3 Fine-Tech Pen. After I was done with the inking, I followed up the details on her dress using a color pencil, because I thought they were quite boring without patterns.
Lastly, I finished it up with highlighting using my Signo White Pen.

Final Product
I will gladly accept criticism so that I may apply it on my next artworks and be able to improve myself. Thank you so much. I hope you guys like it. š That would be all, my fellow steemians. Follow me for more content. Keep on steeming! šš
