Hello!
I'm here to share a new fanart with you guys. It's been a while since I painted a forest healer fanart so I decided to do that today. When it comes to the forest healer I must choose the naughty Wrackoo's as her little guards. Last time I painted her resting on the grass in a forest. This time I decided to put her in the water, not just any water, I mean glowing water like you seen in Avatar and life of Pie movies. This glowing water will be light source I will use to render the character. I was searching for a reference based on this and I found one which fits my idea from Pinterest. As you can see the lighting is very unique here so I wanted to test my skills and this is how it came out!
Wrackoo's Healer!
The Process
- Made a rough sketch first and added the healer clothes and accessories.
- Made a clean lineart from it and painted in the base colours
- Rendered the eyes at this point by adding highlights and shadows with respect to the source of light. Also painted in the darker skin shades.
- Began rendering the skin at this point.
- Added highlights on her skin and rendered the lips as well. I began painting the hair strands at this point.
- Refined the hair strands a bit more.
- Added darker hair stands and highlights on her hair based on the source of light.
- Using an airbrush on an add layer I added a glow on her hair.
- Started working on her top at this point. Layed down the darker shades on her clothes.
- Blended some areas of the clothes and added light shades on the top using a textured brush and airbrush. Went back to the skin layer and added shadows created by the clothes.
- Started working on the watery background at this point. Painted in the ripples and concentrated more on lighter ripples because of the glow it produces. Also added some plants nearby.
- Based on the light source I shaded the plants accordingly.
- Added some more details on the plants and blurred some sections
- Started painting the base colours of our Wrackoos at this point.
- Shaded them according to the light source and also added ripples near them to show they are swimming.
The Result
I finally painted her necklace and head accessory. Added some light orbs around the atmosphere to make it feels magical. Finally ai refined the painting a bit more and it was done :)
