Trying out new things can be fun sometimes, today I'm sharing this new character I created because I wanted to do something totally different and inspired by nature. I intend to create and share more of these and I'll also add them to my nature paintings to make them mystical.
Looking at her, she looks like a creature born from the forest. She's whimsical, slightly eerie, and very stylized. This figure has soft, flowing limbs emerging from her. I chose to work with an earthy,palette : browns, greens, dusky pinks which looks nice. First I did the sketch and added flat colours, I also used a soft airbrush to build volume at the initial stage and introduced some textures later, I kept her clothing simple, the highlights subtle and the shadows gentle. I didn't want to overdo anything by spending unnecessary time on the tiniest details, her facial features are simple too, just big round eyes and a dash for the lip. The wings were the last thing I did and adding details to them was a breeze. I love how she turned out, what do you think?
