004/100
Pink Plushie Present

Greetings community,

This is my 4th elf drawing and I was inspired by the photo sent by my cousin. She turned 10 last week and I thought that I would create an elf character using her photo as my reference.

Here I uploaded some work in progress screen shots :

The initial sketch

Revised the sketch a bit to add length and volume to the hair, changed the stance to lean slightly to the right etc.

This is the final line drawing I added the pink Plushie and made her legs look bigger than the previous slender ones

I worked on the skin tone first then the hair on a separate layer

Next I added the base color for the other half of the body then finalised the pink Plushie I inserted the reference photo so I get the right shade of pink

This is the finished drawing with the line drawing still visible. I was thinking though, without the line drawing it still looks great. I will keep that as an alternative what do you guys think?
