Blacksmith Illustration WIP

I have been away from steem platform for a very long time, longest I've ever been. The reason is I had a full pack of schedule for the last couple of months starting mid January and haven't had a good rest ever since. And If ever I had a few time to spare I rather spend it with family, friends, pets, and sleep.

But despite not being active here for a while, I had some great time on the discord channels. I talked to discord friends XD

Anyway, I would like to update my profile just so you know I am still interested to come back AHAHAHHA, of course!

The other night I had some free time and decided to finally start painting a new personal artwork.

Part of my training was that every time I was asked for a sketch it should already be in a teaser version of how the final output might look like.
But of course, there will be some fixing to do during the rendering stage :) But at least you know where you're heading

The process consists of

• Guidelines, more guidelines
  Setting the Horizon
  

Rules of Third guide

Horizontal guide

Vertical guide (adjusted base on perspective)

• Line draft (I just select from my library of composition drafts, it's such a waste not to render them, right?)
  

  

• BnW draft (I haven't kept the updated one coz I already used it and merged it with colors
  

  

-And finally the color sketch a.k.a teaser sketch hihihi

Right now I am resuming to work on client stuff and will continue this precious in my free time.
