Warrior

in #drawing6 years ago (edited)

Here is a devil warrior. I'm really into drawing these guys because of the freedom and power they give.

Here is a little bit about the process of my drawings, not sure if it's how proper arting is supposed to be done, but it is how I do it works for me.

First, I draw the base on red, sometimes i can be looking at the board for an hour until something comes out...

Then i draw the outlines with black. Some people say that you should never use black, but I just like it and i use it...The thing about art is freedom.

Then goes a layer with the base colors.

Now two layers of shading.

And finally a transparency layer with a gradient :)

And here is a video of the process. It took a while but I hope you enjoyed watching it :)

It is a cool looking devil warrior @barbhr. I like his horns and he looks like a good warrior. The B&W version looks good too. Thank you for showing us the process. I love how you do what you like and as you like it, no rules, just freedom. And inspiration comes when it comes. I stare at my work for hours too sometimes, waiting for inspiration.

Hey this is really great drawing. I enjoyed watching the video, you really know what you're doing and I like this guy, he looks like he has an attitude :D.

Black is both a color and a value, it doesn't make sense to discard it in artistic production so ... to the stake those who tell you that!

Good illustration, very complete despite the speed with which it was made (which says a lot of your skills)

You are absolutely right! Thank you!

You are fast to finish the drawing in about an hour. Thanks for sharing it here.

He is handsome and powerful! Just remove those horns will you? 😃 Kidding aside, the horns make him more daring. You have very good imagination of the warrior's character.

The sword is of pyramid shape! This is my first time to see one like that. I thought that' gonna be a challenge at war when you strike and the flat side hits the enemy instead of the blade. 😊

Thanks! I imagine his sword style would be more like piercing forward (something like esgrima) to fight other armored Warriors, thats why his sword Is shaped like that. Tho, to be honest i just wanted to draw a different shape of blade XD

i just wanted to draw a different shape of blade

That is the beauty in art. You have the flexibility to adjust according to your liking and creativeness because yes, artists have different purposes on what they want to portray. 😊

very solid and clean your composition, I like the look with the horns and colors you have used. the pose is not common and that has caught my attention.

I ecanta the grip of the sword, has nice details, his bandages on the fingers denote activity and possible injuries from fights. great.

this very good your step by step ... I do not know if using black or red or green or any color is appropriate to make a sketch, but you do well, continue.

Thank you for sharing this beautiful creation.

Greetings

Thank you! I'm glad you noticed those little details.

People can say whatever they want but you're the artist and you decide how your artwork will look like. I like your approach and this is what I like on art. It is very subjective and everyone can do whatever they feel they like to do at that particular moment.

I like your devil warrior. He tries to look tough but I can see that he is has a good personality :) Even those horns are adorable! I like your detailed progress photo and I enjoyed watching your video too!

Thank you for sharing and have a great weekend!

Thanks! Art should be about freedom and enjoy the creation of a piece! You read the character just right :D
