Hey Guys how are you doing ? Today we go back in time and draw Android 18. My first female crush :D
If you don´t know her , im sorry.
Go watch old Dragon Ball Z until you love him <3.
The Work
Per usual I like to start by making a black and white sketch.
Coloring
I choose some flower themed colors and texture.
Background
Black to blue (00238e) gradient
Add a bit of Hive.
At first I added these rays in color :#13e3bf since it´s the complemetary color of the Hive red.
But it didnt give me the right vibe so I went with the classic gold: #ffd700.
Final touch
I added the Dragon Balls I used in my previous pictures and "straightened" the rays a bit.
Here I added some gaussian blur on the yellow rays I think it looks a bit better. What do you think ?
Edit:
Gave her a little shadow as well and blured the hive logo a bit as well so that there is a clear forground figure.
I hope you like it
