A step-by-step drawing of the Spirit.

A step-by-step drawing of the Spirit.

Basically nothing complicated:

I make a sketch to catch the image I want.

1. I draw over the sketch with a clean linework. The whole
   work on this illustration is built on the principle of symmetry, and by and large it is necessary to draw only one side of the animal.
2. I apply the basic, base colors
3. I add volume and shading.
4. I begin to fill the illustration with ornament. Ornament
   is symmetrical. So you can draw the right side, copy the layer with the ornament and mirror it.
5. After working with the ornament, I thicken the line in places -
   it helps to create a more three-dimensional image, to emphasize important points.
