Description Everyone, even the most miserable person, can look at the stars and dream.
Shadi dreams of finding her mother again, after so many years. She dreams of a new, better life, far from the slums and the dirty alleys. She dreams of being happy, and no longer alone.
...they are just dreams of course, but they still make her feel better.


This was a spur of the moment, it was supposed to be a small sketch and it ended up being a full drawing, and I'm also very happy with it!   Night scenes are always fun to draw.  Any comment or critique is more than welcome!

Again, a special thank to , she taught me a really fantastic technique to draw stars!  ^^

Thank you so much for taking the time to write this, I really appreciate it!
I'm really glad you liked the scene, and you're right, I could have put more work in the background, but I was afraid it could make everything too cluttered.

It's funny how a lot of people think about Aladdin when they see this character!   Again, thank you so much, it means a lot!

Ma povera Shadi Questo personaggio mi fa tanta tristezza, ma allo stesso tempo comunica una grande voglia di vivere e di essere libera <3

No, senti, io e te dobbiamo parlare.
Ma come accidenti hai fatto a rendere questa scena alla perfezione *_*

Tanto per cominciare, l'effetto pelo. CON GLI ACQUERELLI *_*
Io non mi capacito, deh D8 Hai usato gli acrilici per i peli più chiari ai bordi?
Inoltre, ancora non mi capacito come hai fatto a rendere i colori così "blu" pur mantenendoli così distinti *_*
Ogni volta che mischio qualcosa con il blu (o con qualsiasi altro colore) mi viene un abominio completamente diverso D8

L'effetto che mi piace di più è il chiaro di luna sul pelo e sulle tegole, è semplicemente fantastico *_* e quegli occhioni blu sono fatti veramente bene! <3

Di nuovo nessun problema per la tecnica!! Sono felice di averla potuta condividere con te, sta dando dei risultati magnifici

0laffson In reply to ARVEN92 [2016-05-28 23:04:43 +0000 UTC]

In realtà non è un personaggio triste e depresso, è abbastanza allegra e piena di energia! Ha una vita dura, ma allo stesso tempo ci è abituata e non si piange addosso.

haha grazie mille, sono felice che gli effetti ti piacciano!   Per il pelo vado avanti con parecchi strati:  Il primo è il più chiaro, e ho lasciato il bordo luminoso bianco, poi un altro strato più scuro nella zona più in ombra, ed infine ho aspettato che il colore si asciugasse e diventasse molto denso per colorare quei peli visibili.
Il blu è uno strato a parte, non lo mescolo con gli altri colori, lo sovrappongo quando tutto è asciutto (a parte sui peli fatti col colore più denso, se no si "slavano" e non sono più visibili). E sì, per i peli più chiari ho usato della tempera bianca ^^

Grazie mille per il commento!   I ho ancora dozzine di lavori arretrati su cui commentare nella tua galleria!

<3 Che bel carattere, già mi piace Shadi! è anche una buona metafora per la vita di tutti i giorni  

Accidenti, grazie per la spiegazione 8D L'effetto finale è meraviglioso! *_* Io ho sempre paura di esagerare con gli strati, ma credo che aggiungendo colori man mano partendo da una tinta molto chiara sia la soluzione grazie di nuovo!

E di nulla!
Aww ma non preoccuparti, mi fa davvero piacere che ti piacciano^^

Please let her have the better life in the end :c (is she'll be in the comics you might draw in the future) 
Also, a very beautiful picture yet again, and those starts really came out nicely with the new technique!

0laffson In reply to HunterBeingHunted [2016-05-28 22:47:15 +0000 UTC]

She will most likely have it ^^  At least she will have friends to care for her.
And no, no comics about her.  Both me and Hawk stopped working on this project, we are way to busy, so her story is probably over even before beginning

Thank you a lot, your comments are always most appreciated!   I really have to thank Arven for that!
