Hello, how are you?

I've been feeling a bit distant and sad lately. My companion for the past few years, my dog, fell very ill and sadly she's passed away. It's been some really sad days.😥😥😥

I was working on something else but I stopped when I had the time to work on some sketches in my sketchbook during the moments without electricity. 'cause I wanted to make something for Valentine's Day hmmm which was yesterday but I wasn't going to finish it on time. Still, I kept working on it, and then I'll get back to what I had stopped. You'll see it soon.

I was a bit indecisive about the Healer and the companion I was going to select, but after a while, these were the chosen ones. I think this will be the last attempt for now with the lines 🙄 maybe in the future, I'll give it another shot. Animals are so cute, it's a shame mine isn't as cuddly, but it was good fun nonetheless. MIU MIU is cute and intimidating 😋

I sketched out the idea I had in mind. This time, even though I fixed the lineart a few times, I tried not to go crazy with it and do it every single moment. I had come up with this idea and a few others in my sketchbook when there was no electricity in the afternoon.

-.-

I've used a textured brush that I always use, and in the case of some base like now, I've also used it. I've used some gray to create the shadows.

-.-

Finally, adding some color, after using an overlay layer mode, I saw how the base colors looked a bit. The gray I had added earlier worked for the darker tones, but on a layer below, I placed a slightly lighter one.

-.-

As I progressed, I detailed a few more things, and although I tried not to fix everything, in some specific cases, I made some changes. I also added some highlights to the hair and other areas.

-.-

✨✨✨

I've added the colors to complete the background, the clover symbol for this character, some highlights, and a few other details. I also fixed some of the line art, but not too much.

I truly admire those who create this kind of artwork; it's a bit challenging for me. Anyway, I'm signing off for now. Until next time!
