I tried a lot of new things with this one! The biggest thing was the way I did the highlights and shadows! And I'm really happy with how it came out! I also really like how his expression turned out on this drawing!
I'll Make a Demon Hunter Out of You.
I've been meaning to do this drawing for years! And I finally did it! 😂 This is totally how demon hunter training goes! And I guess I'm already back to drawing Illidan! The other three demon hunters are Vandel, Aranna, and Kayn.
Ashes of Outland WIP (Work in Progress). I had no idea what to draw digitally today, so I just decided to work on this drawing of the Hearthstone: Ashes of Outland characters that I started on Tuesday. I'm taking it very slow, because I'm only drawing one character at a time. It just makes me feel less overwhelmed, doing it this way, instead of drawing all five characters at once! Sklibb is pretty much done, and I'll start rendering Aranna next time!
Aranna is definitely my favorite Hearthstone character! I just keep drawing her! I decided to try to make some lines a bit thicker to make things look more 3D. It didn't really end up looking very different, so I might skip that step from now on. I have to figure out how to draw her horns, because they're much more weirdly shaped that Illidan's are. But I'm sure I'll get lots of practice, because, like I just said, I love this character!
Hiro.
Big Hero 6 is my favorite Disney movie! I'm trying to get better at drawing younger faces. And shorter hair. I'm pretty happy with how both of those things turned out on this drawing!
Black Widow. After a month of drawing all kinds of crazy stuff, I feel like taking it easy, and practicing my portraits a bit. I want to play around with my highlights and shadows (as always), and get better at capturing characters' likenesses on my art.
Illidan Month: Day 31-Statue. This was my first time drawing a statue of someone. I think it turned out really good! I played around a lot with lighting and shading. And this brings us to the end of Illidan Month! This was a fun project!
Illidan Month: Day 30-Northrend. This was totally Arthas's first thought when Illidan showed up in Icecrown 😂! I think that the best part of this drawing is Arthas's expression!
Illidan Month: Day 29: Experiment. Today, I tried something new! I blocked in the base colors with my Ohuhu alcohol markers. I added shadows with my Sakura Koi watercolors. And I added highlights with a Faber Castell colored pencil and a Sakura Gelly Roll pen.
I'm really happy with the result!
Illidan Month: Day 28-Alternate Universe I like imagining stories where Illidan gets to live a more peaceful life. Some of them even include him having kids, like on this drawing. I think this is one of the cutest things I've ever drawn!
Illidan Month: Day 27-Magic. I'm trying to get better at drawing fire and other effects like that. I think it came out pretty good on this drawing! I especially like the rendering on this one! I don't really know what I did differently, but it looks really good!
Illidan Month: Day 25-Death. Okay, he's not quite dead yet! But this is right before he dies. This is based on that cinematic where Illidan has a vision of Tyrande before he dies at the Black Temple. Good thing he comes back to life and has a totally happy ending….😑 Hey! I think this also finishes that series of drawings based on the Illidan book I was doing!
Illidan Month: Day 24-Different art style. Today, I felt like drawing Illidan in a more manga/chibi art style! I really like the way this one turned out! Sometimes, I feel like chibi is the only way I could draw manga well…(Because I don't draw manga very often, so I don't think I'm very good at it.) I really enjoy coming up with alternate art styles. It's a good way to practice different techniques!
Illidan Month: Day 23-Dramatic pose. I just felt like drawing a dramatic pose today! It turned out really good! That's probably the best Warglaive of Azzinoth I've ever drawn!
Illidan Month: Day 22-Young. Today, I drew young Illidan. Why he looks so unamused, is because this is back when he was training to be a druid. And we all know that he just LOVED his druid training....😂
Illidan Month: Day 21-Love. This is my own version of Chen Bo's Illidan and Tyrande art (which is some of my favorite Warcraft art.) I think that this one turned out really pretty! I love how the blue highlights turned out!
Illidan Month: Day 20-Pepe Just Illidan and demon hunter Pepe! I'm not very focused today, so I just did basic lighting and shading. But I'm very happy with how this one turned out!
