Steps in the Process of Creating My Artwork: Possessed Puppet
Here are the steps I followed to create my watercolor painting of Possessed Puppet :

Sketch the Outline

Start with basic shapes to block out the figure.

Focus on the facial expression, making it a mix of playful and sinister.

Include elements that reflect the possessed theme, like cracks, stitches, or glowing eyes.

Use bright, contrasting colors to emphasize the dual nature of the character (e.g., pinks, purples, and reds).

Add blood effects to the knives for a dramatic flair. highlight and shadow key areas to make the character pop. Create a background (optional) that complements the character.

Your feedback and suggestions mean the world to me. Thank you for your support, and I hope you enjoy my creation!

My Plans
I’m excited to share more original artworks and fan art with this amazing community moving forward. Exploring new characters and bringing my artistic interpretations to life is something I truly look forward to. Your feedback will be invaluable in helping me grow and improve as an artist.

With a bouquet of flowers in my hands, I send my heartfelt greetings to everyone in this beautiful community. Thank you for welcoming me so warmly. I look forward to your support and encouragement as I continue my artistic journey with you. 🌸
