Today's post is a guest post done by one of my favourite bloggers, cilia from when I grow up I want to be a granny , who is one the most hardworking bloggers I know and all of her content is very unique and original! For this post, Cilia will be walking you guys through her art process and style...Hope you enjoy!
1. First of all, I looked for a picture in a magazine to take it as inspiration
2. I draw first the body, then, I add the clothes, the hair and the face details.
3. Then, I retrace the main lines to make it more clean, but I erase them to paint it.
4. I will use aquarelle watercolours and pencils to paint it.
5. I start by the skin, because it's the lightest color and when it's dry, I add some shadows
6. As the dress has some transparencies, after painting the skin, I paint the skirt with aquarelle pencils. First I paint the very soft fabric that overlaps the skin and paint the shadow
7. I add some "reds" in the skin, on the cheeks and at the knees
8. Time to paint the hair! I apply a base and then darken it to create highlights.
9. I painted the ribbon in red and I made some highlight, too
10. Time to make the last details! I painted the eyes' iris in green
11. And now, the pupil in black and the line for the eyelashes! and then of course, the eyelashes, that's my favorite part!
12. I don't forget to do the eyebrows
13. The last step is to erase the pencil lines! Hope you like it.

I really enjoy both your blogs, so it's lovely to see a collaboration!
ReplyDeleteRitz, unfortunately, none of the images were visible for me. I'm not sure if it's a problem on my side or yours. In place of the images are small question mark icons! I would have loved to see the art. I'm sure it was great!
