Lilithia
MoonChild works in progress
This is a character of Lilithia, and she suggested this pose and the moon,
and both of us improved on the composition.
It was fun working with her and I hope you have fun too, seeing the works-in-progresses
of this character.
You can contact Lilithia if you
have questions about the character.
 First the pencilling is done. Though it looks very sketchy, the face is done with detail. |
 The picture is then inked, starting from the figure. I used waterproof indian ink and nibs so it will not smear then the paint is applied. |
 Finally the inking is done, and it cleaned up and darkened where the shadows are. The sketch behind is to remind me of the comet behind her. |
|
 The drawing is then taped to a drawing board using masking tape, and I masked out the stars and the comet using masking fluid. Then I laid a thick wash as background. |
 After that I laid a second background layer and did some more work on the dress. I sprinkled some white to create more textures. |
 After the painting is dried, I carefully took off the masking using an eraser and my finger. |
 I added her hair color and details on the moon, and outlined her in white. |
 Finally white sparkles and stardust is added generously using an old toothbrush. It brightens up the picture very much! |
 More details are added, eye color, flower petals and stardust. The painting is then scanned in twice on my A4 scanner. |
 Using Photoshop 7, I used Control Levels ( ctrl-L / image>adjustments>levels ) and played around with the circles marked in red. This will brighten up the picture. |
|
 Then I slowly and painstakingly erased the debris using the brush tool. This usually takes forever. |
