I have several days exploring Krita (an open-source software for digital drawing) trying to digitize the sketch made for the Ultimate Healer that I recently shared with the community, and I want to give it color with zeros and ones. As you may know, although I am not a digital painter, not even in the traditional way, this does not prevent me from setting myself the goal of learning this beautiful art in a self-taught way.
Today I found the call for the Holozing Creature Background Contest. And I said to myself, fantastic, I'll do it.
Of course, I don't intend to win, but I will have fun in the process. What better way to learn than creating a scene for one of the four pioneer creatures?
In that sense, I downloaded the four creatures in PNG format. The fire wolf caught my eye, so I got to work and after almost two hours (something a professional would do in a few minutes) I finished my quick pencil sketch in Krita, and then set out to do it in more detail in the software.
I struggled with Krita's tools, and sure enough, I made many mistakes in the handling of layers, use of brushes, color selection, and crude drawing techniques. However, in the end, I achieved my goal. I smiled like a child and I hope to at least get a chuckle out of you too:
Here are some snapshots of the process of creating my proposal for the background of the Fire Wolf card:

Thanks for reading me, I look forward to delighting myself with the wonderful backgrounds you will share here.
