'Silence of Winter' - WIP

Hello~! This is my first post here. :slight_smile: I’m new to digital art and new to Krita, but I’ve been practicing for a few days now that I’m off for Winter break from my classes.

This is the first detailed piece I’ve ever worked on, and it’s a remake of a colored pencil drawing I made a while ago, featuring a creature that glows from the inside like a lantern.

I’ve drawn for most of my life and look forward to improving my skills with digital over time. First and foremost I want to work on making more realistic creatures, since fantasy and wildlife are my favorite subjects (I’m a biology major). Can’t wait to see all the wonderful artists here!

Quite impressive for a first digital shot !
I’m curious about seeing the traditional version done with the colored pencils.
I was gonna suggest you educate yourself in the subjects you want to master but you already have the major so :+1:

Haha, animals have always been my thing growing up. But I do need to study anatomy and skeletal structure most likely, as well as fur and feather arrangement patterns.

The colored pencil version is pretty rough, but if I get around to it I’ll see if I can scan it sometime. Thank you for the comment! ^-^

Thank you! I use a lot of blue in my artwork. :stuck_out_tongue:

-Edit-

@Samurai: I appreciate that, thank you very much!

@raghukamath: It’s pretty close actually, I still wanted to fix a few things with the background and reflection.

Impressive.
