in #art7 years ago

Hello! I want to introduce you my OC (Original Character): Erika. I created this character this afternoon, I wanted to make a girl who looked cute but also tough and I think I got it haha. Erika is a 19 year old girl, she is a bit grumpy but she is not a bad person, quite the contrary, she is a very good friend and is always willing to help everyone. He was born with a strange power that allows her to melt the things she touches with her hands.

Note: this painting was made in a common tablet with the MediBang Paint tool that can be downloaded for free in the Google Play Store.

To create Erika I followed these steps:


1. I made the sketch of the character's body, with the help of a base sketch I found here. I also tried a color palette on the sketch to see if those colors would look good.

2. On another layer I made the lineart, on another I applied the base colors and on other layers the shadows and lights. In this step I only focused on the body.

3. Then I focused on the head. First I made the lips, nose and eyes, I tried to make many details, I added blush and a little makeup, I also made the shadows and lights of the face. Then I made the hair, I started adding the base color, then the shadows to give it the appearance of dreadlocks, I added some accessories, then the lights and finally some googles.

4. At this point I made a blue light in the character's hand. I also added some small details to the whole composition such as brightness, tears in the clothing, etc. Finally I edited the colors of the whole work, increasing its saturation and contrast.
