Steemit Archer: YOICHIRO (Anime Character Drawing Challenge # 2 entry)


Hello Steemians!
Finally!!! My internet is back... There was a connection problem for my ISP earlier, so I couldn't post this. I was so excited to show my entry for this... (even though it's not so good, but I'm so proud to finish it!! lol)

Anyway, this is my entry for @htliao's Anime Character Drawing Challenge # 2. The challenge is about creating your own "Steemit Hero Character".

I really love "archers"! I find them really cool... be it in anime or real life. <3 That's the reason why I chose to create my own Steemit Hero which is an archer... and I call him "YOICHIRO". Well, there's no special meaning for the name, but I really find names ending in "ichiro" cool.. hahaha xD

So, I won't hold you long... allow me to present my Original Steemit Hero Character!!!

Please tell me what you think!! hihihi ^^ Constructive criticisms only, please? xDD

THE PROCESS


First up, I tried sketching it... I'm not really good at making a full body character and my sketching is so messy, so please bear with me... I used 0.5 Faber-Castell Grip-Matic mechanical pencil

And since the theme is Steemit Hero, I designed it with Steemit Logo...

Somehow, it has already taken it's form...

Next would be inking... It was too nerve-racking for me... I was actually too scared to ink it... huhu xD I did it, anyway...
so, I started with the face.. xD I used Artline pen 0.2

Then, I inked the upper part of the body, then the lower part...

I barely survived... T_T

Next up, I erased the primary sketch to get the artwork ready for coloring..

And so, here's my favorite part!! Bringing the character into life through my Faber-Castel Watercolor Pencils... ^^ Let's start with the hair...

Next, the cloak.. ^^

Then, the outfit.. ^^ I mainly used various shades of blue, because "Steemit" haha xD

As for the Steemit bow, I used Steemit color and gold... ^^ (because gold.. is indestructible! well, almost.. hahaha xD)

Finally for the coloring part, the eyes and the skin.. ^^

Thanks a lot for dropping by!
Love lots, @tegoshei

Love watching you develope as an artist. Critique: One small tip I have for you would be to use saturation levels a way of adding depth to the drawing. (Let some of the white of the paper show through your color.) Keep up the great work. :)

OMG! This made me really happy! 😍😍😍Thank you so much, @ladygray.. I'll continue doing my best to improve!^^ Super thanks for the tip.. I'll keep that in mind.. ^^

Sweet, my daughter and I are archers, and she loves to paint, I'll send her your post, see if she can copy the drawings

OMG! That would be awesome.. ^^ Please show me once she tried drawing it, too! <3

Nice drawing. I really like that messy hair. It's sooo cooool 😆 Yochiro sounds great. Nice work shei 👍
