[Riot Art Contest] - Cassiopeia

ellelansen

Hello everyone!
My champ is Cassiopeia. I've desided to draw smth like mix of Miasma and Twin Fang spells.

Here we go

I've started from sketch. Usually I don't draw on white canvas so that's why it is gray. This is first step where I draw pose and perspective.

Next step is shapes and shadows to show distanse.

On this stage I zoom in and out very often. I find this a very useful technique to control picture balance.

On third stage I put basic colors

Here I understood that I don't like hands. Change them!

And after many hours of work on previous step I've understood that I don't like colors of image. Let's go back to grayscale and work more on details. Also I've splited up things on separate layers.
