Hello! How is it going?

This is my new drawing. It's based on one of my old sketches. I wanted to draw something simple and cute so I remembered about this sketch.

My new image is much simplier than the old one but I did not want to draw big and detailed art. Someday I'll finish the old sketch in the way it should be painted but not today.

And I would like to show you steps of the drawing process. I hope it will be useful and/or interesting for you ^_^

I started with very simple sketch to define the basic composition and then I redrew the sketch to the detailed one.

Time to basic colors:

Then I changed the colors a little to make them not so bright and poisonous:

OK, she needed face, didn't she?

Here you can see the basic shape of her hand:

After that I started to draw shadows and lights and other details. Skin:

Big water leaf. I changed its size and moved it.

At this step I chose a color for background and drew water splashes:

Next step was flower. I don't know what the flower it could be. Some kind of water lily or lotus maybe?

Reflections in the water was added here.

And the final step! I changed size of the background flower and painted it, and moved the girl a little to make composition better. Ta-da!
