A Mini Tutorial: Creating a Painting of Powder from the Arcane Series 🌟

I love the Arcane series on Netflix! I've watched it multiple times and fell in love with Powder – she's just so cute. 

A while back, I created this painting of her, and I thought it would be helpful to share a mini tutorial on how I did it. 

In this digital painting tutorial, I'll provide a step-by-step breakdown of the process, accompanied by a video so you can create your own Arcane-inspired masterpiece.

Enjoy!

Step-by-Step Breakdown:

Drawing the Outline:

• Start by drawing the outline of Powder on a new layer.
• Change the line layer to multiply to create a more subtle effect.

Creating the Base:

• Insert a new layer underneath the line layer and name it 'paint.'
• Begin by blocking in the skin using a mid-tone color.
• Proceed to block in the t-shirt, hair, and backpack.

Adding Shadows:

• Paint shadows using a dark, warm color to create depth and dimension.
• Include the main background color at this stage.

Refining Transitions:

• Use a soft brush or blender tool to soften hard edges.
• Focus on creating smooth transitions between light and shadows.
• Don't forget to add details to the bag and background.

Final Touches:

• Complete the painting by adding the eyes and hair clasps.
• Pay attention to small details that bring the character to life.
