Dark Arborist
Very good evening friends, for this week I wanted to do a fantasy themed drawing for my entry to the @Splinterlands contest and I think the Dark Arborist card was perfect for this idea I had in mind, these last few weeks I have done full body Fan art but this time I wanted a portrait that's why I got down to work and started to develop my idea, I wanted to represent this card in female version using a pretty cool color palette, I painted the lips blue, dark nails, a nose a little wide but not too much, light hair with turquoise blue and of course I could not miss the mushroom shaped head, you do not know how much I enjoyed making this drawing because it has very nice colors and also that I worked in portrait mode which is what I like to do, I hope you like this version.

Proceso/Process
I made my sketch adding every detail I could think of, the costume I changed it a little but at the end I liked how it was, I started to paint the background with blue and purple tones, then I put base colors on the clothes and the mushroom cap, I started to paint the skin adding lights and shadows, in a new layer I added more colors to completely form the face, then I started to mix these colors with the diffuse brush and a medium opacity leaving a soft skin, I also started to paint the clothes, this time I used very dark blue and then some details in olive green, simulating a little bit the original design.
After having the face ready, I took care of the hands, I always like to work the hands apart because they are too complicated to paint, it took me a long time to get the hands realistic enough for this drawing, then I started to paint the hair with very light tones and giving it a wavy shape, I continued painting the other garments of the costume and then I started to focus on the mushroom head for which I used different shades of blue giving it lights and shadows that could highlight the folds, then I painted the upper part using dark blue and illuminating the corners with purple and the other light blue, I added turquoise dots all over the upper part of the mushroom and added light, finally I edited the image looking to give it that touch of depth that I like in my drawings where the colors look a little more intense and the environment darker.
