Hello again! I am here and finally was able to paint and draw something, again but now on my own style, and since I've been practicing on how to paint and still can't figure out what to actually paint and create and most importantly on how to properly paint, this time I did it on my own style and mixed it with my Traditional Art way so it would still turn out thw way I wanted it to be . I bring you another one of my own character based on my novel that I created. This time I will show you on how I painted it and draw this character. Note: Some of the steps aren't included since I did not expect it to turn out like this 😅. I will use mostly words in explaining how I did it. So here it goes. This painting I thought of picturing one of the character in my novel as well. She isn't one of the main character but played a big role on it. Meet Uzumi Sora, another one of the character I created. A beautiful young lady, who had big dream yet an accident happen that made her leave the world of the living. ![20210920_220357.jpg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmSs4WRexNVtXJgG44fkBvVAhLzE9YQayFMQAvE9L4GVD9/20210920_220357.jpg) *** As usual, first of all are the materials that I used. What I used are as follows: ![20210925_162533.jpg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmTVURrLpt3oPHZNhpqi4p8sLmvih9wQ9n6ygJcpWAgUnt/20210925_162533.jpg) * Watercolor paper Pad * Masking tape * Black Pen (2) * Red Pen * Scissors ![20210920_220734.jpg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmYktrLNLKPyW7LEmfNfiMXZgvgo2aDDMNJ4XvEXC6xKat/20210920_220734.jpg) * Lead pencil HB * Watercolor paint * Paint brush (3) * Pallette * Colored Pencils (Gold and White) *** The first thing I did is I took a piece of watercolor paper pad and taped it on my table so it won't be messy and move since it is small with the size of 9 x 12 in. ![20210920_200345.jpg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmafVTB6pfhQKXGWirWFhbpCY6DH8R7RX2i66GGbrgeVVN/20210920_200345.jpg) I prepared everything and the watercolor that I needed. I actually was just testing the pad since I haven't used it even since. This will be the first I'll be using it. So basically what I am going to do now is just random.

I first used the color purple and spread it all over the pad with plenty of water which turned out to be a mistake. I then try and balanced it with a little amout of water in a brush. Still I can say that I can't control the water in the brush but I tried to relax my hand since I think this needed a smoother touch. I was still thinking of an image that I want to create and decided to paint the character of Sora, one of my favorite character that I made. *** I painted pink for the background below and blue on the top, I don't know why biut I just wanted to try and it seems fun. I am actually enjoying this piece and out of knowledge on how the image will turn out to be and focused first on the hair since Sora has long curly beautiful grey hair, I made sure it shows on this painting. I mixed the color purple and white to create an slightly greyish color. I also added a touch of yellow light since I made the model look like holding something. I spread more the paint by brushing it with water but carefully so the paper won't tear. ![20210920_211836.jpg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmNqpsavvpiz5D6PmqLhTXgBnNt73uWQFhgmiR4Y4zf6HQ/20210920_211836.jpg) Little by little I already created an image and figure of the character as well as blending some of the background. I made it like she is in the universe catching a star as bright as her. ![20210920_211842.jpg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmQkggVZaHbQCPtBXDZLjA8KvsvDhw5xvnBotmAwDez8ym/20210920_211842.jpg) I added a touch of yellow for the background it looks fine to me. Feels like more stars are everywhere. Before I proceed to drawing the face of the character, I waited and let it try first by using a portable fan. It took almost 10 minutes to dry. ![20210920_212528.jpg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmQWWXZUoAuNh4i5QxtWT2QWrion98jNgeAQ7kMJH1RUC3/20210920_212528.jpg) I then finally drew the face and outlined and define more the body of Sora using black pen for the face, arms, hands and red pen for the dress. Also used the gold colored pencil for shinning effects and white for reflection. ![20210920_215233.jpg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmSmd1BNVygvMAyMZge5mZQV4a9LBqLs5KH7tta4QkvPxi/20210920_215233.jpg) Finalizing it by removing the tape and then another art work done!!! 🥰 ![20210921_143441.jpg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmVNXZreiNbk16jK8kCBpFtr946TXhwUUpLDGoZDuuoEvQ/20210921_143441.jpg) *** ![20210925_200352.gif](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmSKjsXAKwyx7ypUK9Ku7eHLKoPvarS8ZZA6szZtsfScvA/20210925_200352.gif) ![20210925_200507.gif](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmS2y8JsRds86Yh15PPb23QDLZmRzNVfSNbcoX1GFe5isE/20210925_200507.gif) I hope you guys love it and even if it is just a practice painting work. I had fun painting this and discover another thing that I can do. And so happy to be able to finished another work of art that I can share with you guys. This painting is now in the hand of best friend @sxshx she may not know since I did not tell her that I would give it to her as a gift. I hope she love it. This post is dedicated to her for being a bestest of all my best friend I have. She shines so bright as the stars in the sky though she does not know it. I miss you and see you soon my beshy!
