Hello again everyone! I thought I would share some more recent art I have been working on lately. This is from a collab I did with another amazing artist over on YouTube. The theme we picked was Mythological creatures. Which was a really fun theme to illustrate. As I was doing some research, I was originally going to draw something on the Kitsune, I came across the Chinese folk lore of the Nine Tailed Fox spirit. It was such a beautifully tragic love story that I could just not resist drawing this gorgeous fox spirit. I highly recommend that you Google the story. =D
I looked up serveral different Asian fox masks for this, and settled on something that looked like a good mix between Japanese and Chinese. I wanted to include something that was a send off to my original Kitsune idea.
I decided to go with colour for this one. So I broke out my favourite Faber-Castell coloured pencils, which are actually their watercolour brand that I always use dry as they work really well dry rather than as watercolours. I blend them with a colourless blender to smooth things out. I wanted a really muted palette for this to sort of replicate an old style print.
I hope you all liked this and have a beautiful, creative weekend! Cheers!
