Guild Wars 2

Although I was limited by material, being not only out of proper drawing paper, but lacking my Copic markers, I still think that this is one of the best sketches I have done of Llumin yet. In reality, her skin is a bit more tan, and her hair a bit darker and bluer in shade, but nonetheless, it should give an approximation as to what she looks like.

Llumin is a sylvari mesmer of the cycle of Dusk. Though at times naive, she is loyal, thoughtful, and adventurous, and will not back from a fight when words fail to diffuse a situation. Her mesmeric abilities are constantly-growing, and some say it is only a matter of time before she becomes one of the Grove’s finest spellcasters. She spends her spare time honing her skills, reading, and exploring. A favorite tea of hers is rose.

I agree, this is a very nice piece! Loving the texture you were able to get on her hair (head fronds??).

Oh my goodness, thank you for the compliment! Your works have always been an inspiration to me, so it means quite a bit that you like it.

Yes, her hair was very difficult to do. I took 5-6 screenshots of her head at different angles in an attempt to find one that would provide accurate reference material. In addition, I researched others’ styles from what I’ve seen on Tumblr. That site may have some sketchy material (pun not intended), but there is some pretty amazing stuff out there. I hope to one day be able to draw with the simple yet clean execution that you and others are able to demonstrate.
