Splinterlands art contest week 290 || Madcap Magus

Greetings everyone, I hope all is Great?
Once again is a beautiful day and the right time for another post, but today will be different.

For the first time ever, I will be participating in the Splinterlands weekly art contest.

For my first ever contest, I made a ball point pen sketch of the character "Madcap Magus". On my first glance at the character, I fell in love immediately. Madcap magus is a wild mage of the myconids, a species of sentient, a mobile mushroom. It's magic is unpredictable, with oftentimes erratic and random effects.

Well, without wasting much of anyone's time, I will get down to the step by step process now.

I started the drawing with a pencil sketch of the character pose, my intention was actually to recreate the character on the card exactly. Then I went further to outline the pencil sketch with a blue ball point pen. Form there, I used the cross hatching technique to shade throughout the drawing. I also used a red pen to shade some areas of the artwork to add a variety of colours to it.

The tools I used.
White sheet of drawing paper
Blue ball point pen
Red ball point pen
Pencil
And a ruler.

So friends, we have finally reached the end of today's art process. I hope you enjoyed it.
Thanks a lot.
