Hello friends, today I present you my new entry to @Splinterlands art contest with a card I had never drawn before, this time I chose Witch of Warwick, I confess it was really difficult because of the pose I chose this time, but I wanted it to look quite similar to the original card, this time I used cold tones and some lights with warm tones, I changed a little the costume to my taste and I also made some jewels and eyes coming out of the hair.
I think the most complicated part to paint and draw at the time of the sketch was the position of the face that is almost looking up and the mouth, the mouth was a big problem, but I tried the best I could haha, I hope you like it.
I made a first sketch that I discarded, then I tried with this one and then I started to refine the details, the face was quite difficult and looked strange as well as the mouth, but I had faith in the process, then I started to paint with the colors I chose, I painted the skin with colors similar to the card, using green tones but a little desaturated, then I added another layer where I started to blur the colors and shape the skin, I started to add base colors in the clothes and hair, guided by the reference to make it as similar as possible.
I started to shape each part of the clothes adding shadows and lights to create the folds, I did the same with the hair, giving it waves and with light and dark purples giving it the movement I wanted, I painted the eyebrows and eyelashes and also added more details to the eyes, I added the jewels and eyes to the hair and I started to paint this smoke coming out of her mouth but I wanted to add it in several parts of the drawing, so I painted some on the top and bottom, for the background I simply chose to apply a dark background, I added a layer where I started to apply highlights, highlighting some parts of the character and also adding lights to the background, finally I edited the image to give a little more contrast to everything.
