Lady of the Stars (Artwork)

✧════✹❂◎❂✹════✧

Greetings! Today I want to show you another Artwork I made. The picture shows Lady Ashara Dayne, a fairly famous character especially in the books. I hope you like it and the way I portrayed her. Thanks! Here you can see the finished Drawing and as always I will show a step by step picture progress.

I began with a rough sketch of how I imagined her face to look like. Since we don't have an adaption of her in the show I could be a little more creative here. I used a brown background at first so the colours I later would pick for the skin would work better in the image, since it mainly focused on her face and skin anyway.

______________

For the second step I started to fill the lineart with colours and added details to her skin texture by using multiple shades of skin colours. I also added shadow and lighting effects to the drawing.

Next, I drew Ashara's lips and her eyes. For the eyes I used a purple colour and chose a soft red tone dor her lips. Furthermore I decided to replace the original eyebrows I gave her with a pair of darker ones and made then look a little more realistic by adding smal hairs in different grey tones.

______________

As you can see did I now add her hair. We know that she had black hair and I decided to just draw it in a simple, open hairstyle. Just as I did with the eyebrows did I add lighting effects with lighter colours as well. I also painted several loose hairs around her head. In general I tried to use a more realistic style for this drawing.

Now I replaced the brown background with something more interesting. Since the colour scheme for this artwork is purple I used said colour for the background and picked lighter shades of violet the closer I got to the actual drawing. I also smoothened her lips and added a necklace for a little more detail.

______________

For the last step I drew multiple little stars into the background and added a Cell-shadow to her face for once again, more detail and to create a contrast. This is the finished result. It took me about 4 hours and I hope you like it.
