Hey All
How Are You All?
- The card I drew is named Mischievous Mermaid. I have used a drawing software called ibis Paint to complete the drawing. Now, let's see how I did it.

Tools
As tools I used my newly bought graphics tablet and the pen came with it. I connected them both with my laptop to use ibis Paint.
Steps
- First of all I drew the structure of the character with a thin brush and visualized the theme. Then I used a smooth brush and decreased the hardness of the brush to draw her basic skin tone. Drawing the basic struck
- Then I started to work with her eyes and then her full face. I drew the main colors normally first and then used light colors to add a glow effect to them.
- Bringing the glaze on her eyes took me some time and many trials, but in the end, I was able to complete it. It's the fun part of digital drawing. You can try out as many ideas as possible while not being afraid of making any faults. Because there's always a undo option that you don't get while drawing on a piece of paper with real drawing tools.
- Then in this step I completed her hair. To do that I first drew some lines that represent the structure of the hair part and used a purple color soft brush to overlap it. After that, I used a hard and deeper version of the same color and some both bold and soft black strokes too. These made the hairs look real, gorgeous, and shiny.
- I then took a thin pen to draw more lines that'd give it the look of real hair.
- Then I completed the main drawing by adding a dress to her body that matches her hair color. Now, only one step of drawing a background behind her is remaining.
