Holo Holozing community, this is my first time here and also my first fanart😃
I took a break from drawing as I had to focus on my exams but I am done now so I decided to do something fun and that was when the fanart idea came to mind.
Are you familiar with the popular Disney Little Mermaid cartoon? The one where Ariel was so curious about what happens on land and traded her voice eventually to meet the man of her dreams? if you did, good for you but this ain’t no Disney story but a little Holozing story created by me and inspired by Gen Z and their social media addictions.
Long ago, all the ocean healers resided in the ocean, healing, making peace with all aquatic beings, and spreading kindness. Gradually things began to change with the contact of the outside world. Ocean healers and other aquatic beings began to see how much of an old school they were and this tickled their fancy, they wanted to see the other world, and they wanted to explore.
While a bunch of these ocean healers wanted more beyond the ocean only one brave teenage ocean healer was able to take up the challenge.
Medline the 16-year-old ocean healer wanted more than just taking care of the ocean and healing it, she wanted to be like the visitors she usually saw and admired so she took a bold step by boarding the next ship that came to the ocean. She was on a mission to see the other world.
Medline stepping into the new world meant she changing tremendously and as years went by Medline evolved into a beautiful social butterfly, making a name on all social media platforms and still continuing to perform her healing duties in the ocean.
The End
Having read the backstory of the evolution of our Gen Z ocean healer, here are the steps I took in arriving at this cute ocean healer.
Firstly, this drawing was made with, a pencil, blue and black pen, and a drawing pad.
I started by drawing grid lines and drawing an initial outline with a 2H pencil to make sure the proportions were accurate.
Then I traced the outline with a black pen to give it more depth and contrast.
Getting satisfied that the proportions were somewhat acceptable, I proceeded to shade the skin with a 4B pencil and blend it to give a smoother texture
I used my pencil to shade her arms and started shading her hair with my blue pen.
After carefully shading and making finishing touches Viola! Our Gen Z ocean healer was created.
All images are mine and were taken with my mobile phone.
