Hello Everyone.

How Are You All?

Today, I bring you another one of my digital drawings. This one is also a fan-art edition of a monster of Splinterlands that I drew my way by modifying the primary theme or the original card. I'll be sharing what tools I used, and how I did it (with detailed explanation for each step). The monster I drew today is named SOLA RANJELL.

I used my laptop, Wacom drawing tablet, stylus touch pen, and a drawing software called Ibis Paint to complete the drawing. I made this drawing and now posting it here to participate in the weekly art contest arranged by @splinterlands. I'll attach the link to the contest below. please check it out if you're interested. I'll also be adding the original image so that you can compare it yourself.

I began the process by drawing the shape of her body and this started with drawing the borderlines of her body structure. I normally draw the hairs later but in this one, I drew her eyes and hair in the first step. Then I focused on drawing the details like her dress and the weapon.

Now begins the coloring part. I began by adding the primary color of her skin. I followed a new technique to color in this step. I normally used paint brush to paint but it's difficult to draw the small and thin parts of the drawing using that method. As a solution, I used the spray paint tool and then just erased just by selecting the parts I wanted to keep. The lines worked as a border for me here.

Then I began to add color layers to bring out the realistic looks on her skin and visualize the curves and shades that I wanted. I also started working on her eyes and lips too. I tried to make her eyes look like an angel's and this took me a lot more time than I realised. I don't even remember how many layers I needed to add to complete this part. I also added more than 5 color layers on her skin mainly the part of her face and neck.

Then I drew her horns and the jewelry on her head. After that, I started working on her hair. I wanted to make it look as realistic as possible and that came with the cost of a lot of work time and effort. I began with the first primary color. I'm calling it the first primary cause I added 3 primary colors to give it the perfect visualization. I drew all those colors in separate layers so that I could blend them in easily and get the expected visualization.

Now it was time to start working on her dress and the weapon she was holding. I started by adding the primary color of her dress, Sorry, I forgot to take a screenshot of the steps while drawing the magical wand weapon on her hand. I have to stay focused on the drawing that I normally forget to take screenshots and even if I remember, it's tough to keep the concentration.

Then I started adding the color layers to her dress. One by one I added the color layers and the details too.

Final Step

And with some detailing work on her magical wand weapon and her dress, here's the final result:-
