This is a digital painting I made of a very young looking healer, the perfect paimtjng for a rainy day. She’s peeking from behind a tree, she's playful, abit shy, calm, and full of quiet magic. This is a fanart for the female forest healer in the holozing game. The idea for this one was to capture a very calm and not-so-seriois vibe, half-hidden, curious and peeking out from the back of a tree, a creature that's part of the forest, always watching and ready to help the forest and its inhabitants...

Looking at the finished painting, I imagine she helps the forest grow, heals small creatures, and talks to plants as shes a part of the forest, gentle and kind, like the wind through the leaves. Drawing her felt peaceful, like walking through a quiet forest in the morning.....

I already had this idea drawn in my sketchbook last week, I just knew I had to paint her but I didn't know what to do with the background so I only focused on the main character first, I did the sketch, picked and painted the flat colours for her hair, skin, facial features and the leaves wrapped around her hair.

I started the rendering process with her skin, adding lighter and darker tones where necessary, I added some details to the leaves before moving on to her hair and main facial features. I painted more strands and yellowish bands to the ends of her hair before focusing on the background, I picked a sharp green colour and added some leaves around, painting the huge tree bark was quite easy, I added some little leaves on the tree and blurred them out to keep the focus on the healer. Finally I added some sharp light using a glow dogde layer, I did the final adjustments and really love the final outcome....
