For this week's Splinterlands art contest, I tried a new drawing style. The character I chose to draw for this week is Pirate of Eight, a water element unit with melee attack and abilities like reach and blast.
I decided to draw him with an angry expression, as if she's about to attack.
First, I started with the outline, sketching out the pose I wanted. I won't use this outline as the main one, it's just a guide to follow while coloring the character.
Once the outline was done, I colored in the different parts with solid colors.
After finishing the solid colors, I added layers and deactivated the clipping mask to add shading without going overboard.
Once all the shading was done, I blurred it to blend.
After completing the coloring, I used a charcoal pen to highlight the character's features. Once the outline on top was done, I moved on to the background.
For the background, I simply created a gradient of blue and added a bit of cloud brush effect.
This is my finished artwork, hope you like it.
Playing Splinterlands is not only enjoyable but also mentally stimulating and rewarding too.
