Splinterlands Art Contest Week 286: Nimbledook Scout

This is my entry for the weekly Splinterlands Art Contest found HERE

Here is the original card art:

Created in Clip Studio Paint Pro on a Microsoft Surface Pro 7+. Here is the timelapse video:

And here is the step-by-step breakdown of the drawing steps.

Step One: Rough draft

Step Two: Line art of the rough draft

Step Three: Hide the rough layer and create a flat color layer.

Step Four: Create separate clipped layers for the different colors. Hair, pants, jacket, shirt, brass and leather.

Step Five: Shading! She's a scout so she probably spends a lot of time outdoors, so she's got a lot of scuffs and dirt on her clothing.

Step Six: Create an Overlay layer for the highlighted areas

Step Seven: Details. Mostly the eyes and lips.

Step Eight: Background. I generated a mountain background using AI.

Step Nine: Sign my initials at the bottom so that everyone knows it's an original Matt S. Law art.
