Good evening friends, this week I didn't plan to participate in the @Splinterlands contest since I really didn't have much free time to draw, however, today I managed to get some time and it was quite difficult, I chose the Lily Shieldpaw card a card that I like very much, but I had never dared to draw, I feel that these last months I have explored better this topic of drawing tender animals so I dared to do it today, this drawing gave me a lot of headaches but finally I loved it, believe me it is a challenge for me to draw any creature that is not a woman hahaha, I tried to capture that beauty and tenderness that these characters transmit me, there were many changes during the process such as the background, I wanted a background with warm tones but it was very bad, I decided to try something darker and it was much better, anyway, I hope you like this version of Lily Shieldpaw.
I started the sketch and it was really complicated trying to make three different creatures in the same place, I was very nervous thinking that it would probably be a problem to paint it, I started to fill each character with a base color, then in a new layer I started with two of them, my favorite to paint was the red panda, I loved this one above all the others, on the other hand the snow leopard was the most complicated, because it had more light tones than the others and I always tell you that working with these colors is really difficult for me, I put all the colors without much care because later I would begin to give detail one by one, then I painted the giant panda, I only needed to retouch, but this would take many hours.
Pinte unas flores que el panda rojo sostiene en sus patitas, luego aplique una capa de luces y empecé a aplicar algunos brillos en los ojos y partes del pelaje, continue mi dibujo pintando algunos pétalos de sakura flotando alrededor y se me ocurrió tambien agregar a cada uno una especie de aura detrás de la silueta, roja para el panda rojo, amarilla para el panda gigante y azul para el leopardo de nieve. Finalice realizando un sutil ajuste de color en la imagen, sin exagerar porque ya me gustaba como se veía.
Then I started to detail them one by one, I think it took me an hour or more on each one of them, trying to give that furry look and also focusing on the huge and tender eyes, after painting them all, I started to think about a background, at first I wanted a kind of forest with pink and yellow tones and finally I tried it and I didn't like it, so I opted for a night landscape, I loved it that way.
I painted some flowers that the red panda holds in his paws, then I applied a layer of lights and started to apply some glitter in the eyes and parts of the fur, I continued my drawing painting some sakura petals floating around and I also thought of adding to each one a kind of aura behind the silhouette, red for the red panda, yellow for the giant panda and blue for the snow leopard. I finished by making a subtle color adjustment to the image, without overdoing it because I already liked the way it looked..

Wow so cute 😍😍😍. The urge to pet them is just too high xd.
By the way Alexa, how do you choose what to draw as the background? I spend way too much time thinking about it haha.
Hahahaha yeah, I'd like to pet them too
I also spend a lot of time thinking about the background, sometimes I just start mixing colors and end up making something I like, always the background is the worst, I'm not as detailed as I would like for backgrounds and that sometimes frustrates me for example, for this drawing I tried 3 different backgrounds, trying to find something that looked good, in the end I went for something dark a kind of bright sky, it's a very complicated process that delays me too much the work 😂
