Progress on my Sailor Moon fanart!

I've been working on art stuff the past weekend as much as I could. Unfortunately due to holidays and events I wish I was able to do more, but here's what I've done on my Sailor Moon Fanart! It was done in Illustrator and i still have a bit to do. But thought I'd share my work in progress! ;)

I wanted to do a Sailor Moon piece bc its homage to what got me to jumpstart my illustration skill. I drew a lot as a kid, but Sailor Moon got me obsessed with being an artist :)

Wait a sec.....

Am I actually updating and posting on this blog..? Holy cow! Yes i am >_<


LOL annyyhooo here are some screenshots of the work in progress i have for the bellydancer im working on.



Close up.



Ive never tried this technique before. Where u paint the tones in black and white first when go in a new layer and change the layer settings to color. and paint your colors on them. Then build up from there etc. She's not as realistic as i want her to be but I'm workin' on it. Still have a ton of detailing and rendering to do. I didnt have the image at a tilt angle before but i just changed that since the previous one looked a little boring.

So that is that!
