STEP BY STEP // Flight (Patreon)

I did this Hay Lin image for my last W.I.T.C.H.tober.  Hay Lin is one of my favourite characters ever, her element is AIR. I wanted to draw her flying in a funny still elegant way, like she's half-controlling her flight but having fun at the same time! 

I started looking for the pose, through little sketches on my sketchbook. I underlined the line of action for you to see.

I started from the head, putting it in the correct perspective. Then I looked for the line of action.

I put the torax volume, then the chest volume (I use "potatoes" more then "boxes" for ... I like it :) 

Then I add arms and legs. I underlined the volume for you. "Feeling" the volume is important. Note that one arm/leg follows the line of action, the other one creates a contradiction.

I finish with the volumes of the face elements. Hair and wings follow and continue the line of action in order to add elegance and movement.

Hop it's done :) I hope you enjoyed this little trip in my process. hasta la proxima!
