Hello everyone, I hope you're all doing well. In this installment, I'm featuring this character. I saw the letter and loved it, and while searching for information about her in Splinterlands, I found out she's an infamous pirate.
Personally, I really like strong-willed female characters, and very few of them catch my eye, so I decided to create her my way.
REFERENCE / [ORIGINAL ART](https://next.splinterlands.com/card-detail/582/regular/12?tab=lore) FROM @SPLINTERLANDS
I started by sketching the body. For the pose, I imagined her sitting on the edge of a cliff on an island, striking a flirtatious pose. I believe that just because a female character is strong doesn't mean she isn't feminine and attractive, so I decided on this pose.
I always draw the silhouette of the body first to know how the clothes will fit or how to design them. I don't have much experience drawing costumes, so it gets a bit complicated if I don't draw the silhouette first. Many other artists use this same approach, although there are also people who draw the clothes straight away.
After creating the silhouette, I begin drawing her clothes, trying to be faithful to the character's concept. I took the creative liberty of modifying some details, such as the shoulder pads, gloves, sleeves, and the shape of the hood.
For my part, I kept what I left out of the concept, for example, the hood, the corset, the gems she wears as a brooch, and the corset.
All of this was to make my work a little easier and to complete the costume, since the body isn't complete in the letter, and I had to imagine things to complete it. Then I outlined with India ink and cleaned up.

After outlining, I applied the base colors for the landscape and the character. The skin tone was a light pink, the cape and dress were colored dark blue, but I tried to keep it as light as possible because the top layer will be a different color, and the belt and fabric underneath the dress will be a light gray, and the boots a light yellow. After that, I applied other layers of other colors.
Something that characterizes me is that, at least with colors, I rarely use shades of the same color to darken. Instead, I try to use complementary colors or purple for the shadows, depending on what type of work I'm doing.
For example, with light skin, I use a pink or yellow base depending on the skin tone. Then, to remove some of the paleness, I use orange, and for areas of the skin that require darkness, I use purple or green.
After finishing the character, I moved on to the landscape. It's not the best drawing I've done so far, and colors aren't my strong suit either. The quality of what I currently have helps a lot. I'm also in the process of creating a style or adapting to one I feel more comfortable with.
But I'm clear about redesigning the character for a new occasion, so I treated this drawing as a rough sketch for a better drawing. Something that happens to me very often as a draftsman is that I need to do a mini sketch first to be clear about the design, composition, and so on.
It's not easy for me to make everything completely imaginary, so stay tuned for a new upcoming installment where the final design of this character will be, thanks for taking a few minutes to read my post.
