XD I watched Arcane for the first time about a week or two ago (thanks to Luna's pestering :P) and I LOVED IT SO MUCH, so when I was pondering what else to draw for my first session of SAC (October '22), I got the idea to draw Vi, one of my favorite characters from the series. Over the past few weeks, I have been experimenting with drawing people, and during the process of drawing Vi, I learned a lot more about how to draw people. I experimented with shading and lighting techniques, and used references to try to copy realistic-ish shading. I also tried a different method of drawing eyes, thanks to Luna's suggestion that I make them more almond-like, (which was originally a tip from Bakie). Before, I would usually shade by using multiply layers, but this time, I experimented with simply using the watercolor brush on a normal layer. I feel that it turned out much better than it usually does, and I'll try to keep using this technique in the future! :D The background is mostly the result of me running blurry watercolor brushes over a dark Zaun-ish green backdrop, and I think that I did ok with that. :) So yeah! :D I can't think of anything else to say here, but I'm rather pleased with how everything turned out. :) I hope to do more art like this in the future, and maybe post a few more arcane character art processes. In the meantime, I hope you enjoyed this art process, and thank you for reading! :D ⋇⋆ Fun Facts ⋆⋇ ◇ Program used: FireAlpaca ◇ Started: 6:19pm on October 2nd ◇ Time Spent: 4 hours and 13 minutes ◇ Character: Vi from Arcane ⋇⋆ Thank you ⋆⋇ I just want to say a huge thank you to Luna (@Luna-Lovegood-LOL) for being so encouraging and supportive for the past two days while I have been making this. <333 You gave me many tips on posture, coloring, and design, and I know that none of this would have turned out the same without the help and motivation that you gave me. :) Happy fourth possible birthday, and I really appreciate your support! :D Thank you as well to Rea () for being super encouraging when I showed her a few drafts of this. :) I also want to thank Cloudy () for always being ready to offer feedback and encouragement during my constant minute adding during the past few days.
