Now that the live action of Snow White was released (which is an insult to the story of Snow White by the way and to the cinema in general hahaha) I remembered that in 2020 when I still didn't have a tablet to draw and I made my drawings on my cell phone using my fingers, once I made a dark version of Snow White, as usual back then I thought that drawing was beautiful but it really has a lot of terrible details, although I can't help but give myself some credit for having done it with my fingers on a cell phone hahaha, today I wanted to recreate it and make it obviously much better and I love how it looks, I was very inspired by my original drawing, practically using a very similar pose and the same costume but using colors a little more consistent and realistic, it was fun to recreate this drawing and do it with all the care in the world so you could see the improvement, even the background I like a lot, I hope you also like it.
2020 / 2025
I made the sketch guided by my previous drawing, then I chose the colors for the skin, they had to be very pale skin tones because... obviously... Snow White!
I started adding more colors in a new layer, I placed shadows and highlights and reddish tones around the eyes and very striking red lips. Then I started to mix all the colors leaving a little softer textured skin, I also applied color on the hair and started to paint the clothes, this time, I chose a dark blue for the dress.
Little by little I added details to the clothes to create the folds of the fabric and give it a better finish, I also added a little light in the hair using a dark brown but without too many details since I wanted the hair to look quite black, I added more color to the cheeks, lips and around the eye area using pink and reddish tones, I painted the apple and then I took care of the background, this time the background like my previous drawing should be a night landscape, however, in the 2020 drawing I painted with green and black and also added trees with light browns, which were quite bad and unrealistic, then I decided to use a blue background and with a hair texture brush (which I modified to make it flat) I followed the steps of Bob Ross simulating a fan brush and making trees in the background haha, it was quite fun to paint these trees in digital and see that they were very similar to the pine trees painted by Bob Ross with the fan brush, it's amazing.
To make my character match better with the background I modified the skin tone and brightness making it more in line with the scenery, I painted the tear of blood coming out of the eye and finally I added light details in areas of the face/body that I wanted to highlight.

Amé, lo que más me gustaba de blancanieves era lo delicada que era pero bueno. La versión que hiciste en el teléfono me parece increíble por las limitaciones que tiene hacerlo en un aparato tan pequeño, pero en fin, amé ❤️❤️❤️

Hermoso, omg. Eres muy talentosa! 💚🌸
