Description
"The flower that blooms in adversity is the rarest and most beautiful of all."
— The Emperor of China, Mulan
Inspiration
Soooo I see these #redraw / #drawthisinyourstyle challaneges going around on instagram and saw kassiopeeia 's challanege and I thought I would give it a try as I really adore her style and color palettes. Originialy I only was planning to do a portrait, then it got out of hand it is my first full illustration which I made fully digital (couldn't even findt the category at first here on DA
) , so I learned a lot, tho the glowing and hair is still problematic for me to do. Eitherway, hope she Will like it
Orignally she had glowing tattoos, but I didn't like it how I could do with my current skills, so this is my "simplified" version.
Personal notes
It is rather difficult to get back after months/almost a year of hiatus. This picture is one of the first pics I finished and it not "just" doodle. Slowly, but surely I will try to pick up drawing again.

Very well done. Great choice of colors, and black space as well (is that a thing? I know white space is) as well as the overall style, which has an art nouveau feel to it

Thanks I have no idea either
Maybe negative space ? But that is not entirely correct too

Thank you ctually I wanted to make a blossom out of light, but somehow I couldn't do it, thus I decided to do it this way, but somehow got to like it better this way

Ah, it made it even prettier! I'd say the way you did it made the picture more enticing 😄

Aww thanks It is more like "I am not that happy with my current skill level" type of thing (well that is only natural with a new media), but I hope to improve it
