"Forward Steps": color version (drawing on paper)

in OnChainArt17 days ago

This is a color version of my #artwork I called "Forward Steps". This is one of those drawings that "lies around for a while" and waits to be finished.

After the basic #lineart drawing stage, the unfinished black and white work sat in my notebook for a long time, waiting for the face to be shaded. Then I thought for a while about what colors I wanted to use for this #portrait.

The result was a very cute #character with golden hair, a red hood, and #armor.

Flowers in the background.

The character's face is based on Olga K. appearance.

Tools: #pencil's, #roller , color liners, markers
Paper: 110x165mm


And now step by step:

From simple uncertain lines to sketch line art.

From these lines, the face and eyes begin to emerge.

Finally, the stage of creating the hair and hood.

And now it was time to draw everything else. At this stage, the armor and clothing appeared.

The line art drawing stage. Everything here was drawn with a roller.

Well, the final stage of coloring.

This presentation was made specially for #HIVE and #ecency.

Thank you for your attention!

The drawing took quite a while. Although not many people saw this drawing. Was it a waste of time? I don't think so. Just another skill improvement.

I don't understand what the promotion on #ecency depends on. How long does it take for it to work? I wonder if the promotion happens the same way if you buy points for real money.

For some reason there are almost no views on !HIVE .
It seems the audience didn't like this !ART

No. My comments are not generated by artificial intelligence. I write all these stupid texts myself, communicating with an audience that does not exist.

Even in creative groups, the number of active publications has decreased. It seems that there is also a very small audience here. It's sad.

This artwork only got 36 votes. And no comments. It seems like there's some kind of algorithm here too...

If someone reads my comments under my posts, they might think that I can only complain. But I don't. These are just random thoughts that contribute to my question to the man: "What should I write?"

"The sun had not yet hidden behind the horizon, but it was already resting, and the echo was like a snowy owl. A giant sleeping bird, whose name is twilight, soared over the garden just for a while."
Sneaking in the shadows

"At twilight, the balance between man and the planet is tested. God mixes shadow with light to see if the Earth has the courage to continue rotating. If the Earth is not afraid of darkness, the night will pass and the new sun will shine..."
Paulo Coelho. Maktub

"It is necessary, it is necessary to walk around the garden in the twilight. There are no or almost no such important things, for the sake of which it is worth giving up this pleasure. During such walks, the eyes imperceptibly learn from the lanterns how to shine. And that is what we need."
Max Fry. The same book

"The onset of night is the time when fears leave the peeling walls, and sorrows soften, when the soul, proudly flapping its wings, rises above the sleeping humanity."
Dino Buzzaty. Tatar desert
