Sunflower Makes Me Happy

Last year I added a lot of sunflowers to any kind of hobbies I do which I find fascinating maybe that is how I cope with being art block for the past months I gaslighting myself to not go back to digital art and focus on traditional art instead but I thought that happiness will last longer but not in my time that happiness took from me in an instant that led me to neglect myself again.

But I am better now this time, some special people helped me get through this hope I can say to them how thankful I am.

So yeah simple thing sometimes makes a person better.

When I tried to draw again I asked myself how would start this, I decided to open my art files and I saw this and laughed at myself "How did I do this again?" I have this tendency to forget how I draw things so I need to draw frequently so I train my muscle memory to function properly.

The Process:

For the line art, my idea is to let the line art until the end of the rendering so clean line art is a must and I think hatching is a good thing to add to so I did. For the background, I used to add sunflowers and clouds in every art I drew.

---

Next, I added the base color of each part of her body with its layer for easier rendering. The funny thing is since I started to draw digitally I always added a circle blush to each female reference I drew which is a must thing for me to do now. And adding a texture canvas is a must too.

---

Next, I added the base color of the background I added red as a background color with a cloud and a fluffy sunflower.

---

Next, I added more details on the background using a texture brush just to make it more like a background and more shadows and highlights on her. I added more hatching on the part where the shadows are.

---

Next is to add more highlights on the background what I want to do is want the cloud to be glowing so I must add some on the background so I will make the lights from the clouds reflect the background.

---

For the final process, I added more highlights by creating a layer with a blending mode of addition and then adding them to the part where more highlights are needed.
