Final 3 3.png

Quick Intro:

I recently got my drawing tablet and I want to start practicing right away to get used to it faster. Since I'm playing Splinterlands on the side, I thought it would be better to try and use it as my reference as well.

I want something easy to draw and not too detailed as I'm still practicing with my XP Pen Deco. For this one, I found Lily Shieldpaw very interesting. I needed to draw three characters but all of them are fairly easy so I chose them instead.

This is not going to be a 1:1 copy of Lily Shieldpaw as I want to put my own twist on it but I do want to be fairly faithful to the original.

Process:

Draft and Lineart:

First, we'll draw the guides to use and a rough draft of the feel of the characters.

Yumbo, the Giant Panda Cub

Color 2 - Panda.PNG

Color 3 - Panda Final.PNG

Starting with the easiest one, let's do the colors on Yumbo. I also set the background color to green temporarily so I could see the white parts of our fluffy friend.

Onegin, the Snow Leopard

Color 4 - Wolf body.PNG

Color 5 - Wolf mouth eyes.PNG

Color 6 - Wolf Highlights.PNG

This was actually a hard one and I thought Onegin was a dog of some kind at the start so I made him a wolf. I did the art before reading the lore so now, the Snow Leopard became a wolf. He still fits the design though, fortunately. I kept it loyal to the material and kept the color and the face markings as well. I did add a few more than needed though.

Lily Shieldpaw, the Red Panda

Color 7 Lily Body.PNG

Color 8 Lily face.PNG

Color 9 Lily Shadow.PNG

Color 10 lily highlights.PNG

Last one is the main character, Lily Shieldpaw. She was the hardest to do because her color, by the looks of it, are mostly gradients. I don't know how to do it yet so I just stuck with an old-school highlights and shadows. She looked like a racoon though because of the tail. I didn't know Lily is a red panda until I read the lore.

Background

We need to have a decent background. I made a forest background for our three friends. I made a simple one because I want the three to stand out as my first attempt and will make a slightly better background the next time.
