Oh god, my pencil lineart sucks so much >.< I was too lazy to ink it/vector it and this is the result of my
lazyness....Ugly and messy lineart.
I think this is my first time to color a drawing without vectoring it first. I'm still a noob at digital coloring
>.<
I want a light table!
Okay, so this is an OC of mine, from a light novel series I've been writing. Her name's Zinnia. It's a flower's name,
and butterflies seem to really like this flower. So my first concept was to make her outfit butterfly-related.
However, the outfit I was making for her was full of lace and such, and it was getting too complicated, so I went for
something a bit more simple and added butterflies here and there.
When I went for her pose, I noticed there was something missing in her hair, and decided to try my luck on hairpins. And
since New Years was coming, my inspiration for it was time/clocks.
I searched for some references-here and here- and began adding things such as jewels, gears,
and all kind of things. I really liked the outcome though I fail at making things symmetrical :sweat:
I used Photoshop and CG Illust to paint it, but mostly PS. I kept her eyes simple, there is already too much detail on
the clothes.
The sky is made of brushes. I wanted to add some fireworks too but looks like I lost my brushes for those so I gave
up.
Used some filters to make the wood texture on the stairs lol...why do I fail so much at painting!? Look (or not) at
those horrible mountains! My first attempt at painting mountains...I knew I should have used some
reference/tutorials...but I'm too stubborn >.<
Well, nothing more to say about this >_< Hope you enjoy it !
