Splinterlands Art Contest Week 239! | RIVER NYMPH

This week i tried to create a semirealistic version of River Nymph, she somehow or somewhat reminded me of Eudora and Kadita of mobile legends so that is one of the reason I chose her as my subject for this week's Splinterlands Art Contest which is the 239th week. Since this is my first time trying to create a semi-realistic style I am experimenting on how to position the right shades and highlights to emphasize the depths of the parts of the face and the body as well. Anyway let me share you my drawing process.

Drawing Process

As usual I use XP-Pen artist 12 drawing tablet and Photoshop cc 2018 for my drawing software tho I might try to use other software next time(which I haven't tried yet but previously I tried experimenting on Medibang and Sketchbook.

First thing I did was to draw a rough sketch of what I wanted River Nymph's facial reaction would be. Then after that I added a layer over that to pick offs the right lineart using a blue line. After that I color the skin with a skyblue like color as the base which is almost similar to River Nymph's original skin-color. And then I work my art by adjusting the shades and highlights as well as detailing the hair and the background to make it look like that she is underwater.
