Hey, After Finishing Small's Portrait, I Decided To Do A Little Face Painting Practice, To Improve My

A redisign of a pretty old oc, his name is Willy.

An albino lion I paint like a year ago. I was studying how to paint white animals. I use a photo refrence from DA.

This was a weird combination of working in grayscale, using the curve tool to add one color to the body, another to the light and shadow, then merging all the layers to turn it back to black and white and continue working on my values , and have a color copy. The color editing, took me more time than the shading or anatomy, I don't think this is the best way to work.

For a long time I been wanted to change, a bit, the design of Amaranth, as well are-design his reference sheet. His original sheet was very dark, and I really don't like how I arranged the information, not to mention that design was a mess and his mane was so dark that you couldn't see any detail. I didn't change his original design much, because in the end it's a design I am very fond of, but if I simplified it a bit and changed the green tones for more orange tones, seens it was the least I liked about his original design.

I honestly didn't think I was going to finish it today 0.0" I just wanted an excuse to draw a tiger.

The plants don't have that much detail, I tried to focus most of my detail on the clouds and the water, this time I decided to experiment more with the style and color of the clouds.

I don't really like how the water came out, I wanted to add more detail and lights, but it didn't feel it looked that good, so I decided to keep it simpler.

I hope you like it :3 even with everything I liked the final result.

Originally it was just going to be a simple painting practice  with one of my characters, but I started playing with the lights and I really liked it .3. I just feel like adding that extra shading and light always makes portraits feel more alive. And I think it's obvious I really like that kind of light that only covers a part of the face, it helps me to highlight the face and I think it looks really good ^^" The proportions are a bit exaggerated, I think trying to make it super realistic makes it lose a bit of personality, especially with this character .3. I think I'm improving my realistic style a bit more .3. I have had so many commissions these last days and just had been a bit desmotivated, that I have hardly done as many painting practices as I would like ;<;

Hey, here is the rest of the practices I did, honestly it was easier than I expected, and I would have drawn more heads, but the canvas was already too big and I needed to do other things.

I didn't draw 3/4 because I didn't find an image I liked enough, so I think I'll be looking for more pose references to practice ^^"

They still have some flaws, but I'm glad they are not as difficult to draw as I remember XD When I have more time, maybe I'll do a second part, or maybe I'll practice with other felines, like lynxes, they're kind of complicated to draw, or cheetahs

Any type of criticism, or feedback is welcome ^^

My Oc.

I used aphoto of Snape when he was a kid as a ref.

Cocodrile-dragon eye I did for a competition in Amino.

My new obsession so far, I've already replayed this thing like 4 times \('-')/

I love the character design of this game, I tried my best but I don't feel like my style does the character justice XD

I corrected shading and proportions as much as I could, but I'm already tired, any type of feedback is welcome, I hope it looks good \('-')/
