Good day Steemians! So today I have decided to create another artwork. My subject, RILAKKUMA. It has been 5 days since I last posted an artwork here on Steemit, here is the LINK of my previous artwork. Check it out if you have spare time. Thank you!

Anyways, just a quick background about Rilakkuma.

Rilakkuma is a fictional character produced by a Japanese Company, SAN-X. Rilakkuma's name is a combination of rirakkusu, a Japanese transliteration of the English word "relax", and kuma, the Japanese word for "bear". Rilakkuma appears on items such as stationery, dishware, backpacks, and stuffed animals. It has a series on NETFLIX entitled RILAKKUMA AND KAORU.

WHY RILAKKUMA?

As I have mentioned before, I've posted an ARTWORK last week, one of my fellow Filipino Steemian @robiney requested or suggested to draw her favorite character Rilakkuma.

I don't want to give her false hope, but since I am focusing on drawing characters from anime or cartoon, I have decided to do it.

So, here is my step by step process and tutorial:

First step is I drew some gridlines to help me draw the outline of the photo. After that, I erased the gridlines.

Then I used dark black for his eyes and nose..

EARS. I used sunny yellow for the first layer then I added another layer on some parts using apricot. Leave some parts for the highlights.

Then for the dark parts and shading, I used woody brown. Leave some part for the highlights. After that, I blended all the color using cottonbuds.

I traced the outline of the photo using apricot color.

FACE. Again, I used the apricot color for the first layer of his face.

I filled the gap between Rilakkuma's hands using dark black. I did this first before coloring his face so that I will know how dark I need to color his face. I need to blend it out.

Then I added another layer of apricot on his face. I just darken the color before adding the second layer.

For the second layer on his face, I used burnt sienna. It's like a brownish color. I left some part for the highlights.

Then for the shading, I used woody brown.

After shading, I blended all the color using cottonbuds.

HANDS. I did the same process on his hands. I used apricot for the first layer.

Then burnt sienna for the second layer. I left some part for the highlights.

Then for the shading, I used woody brown. I blended all the colors using cottonbuds.

I just added some additional details and finishing touches and my artwork is done!

I hope that you liked it guys! Especially @robiney, I hope I didn't disappoint you.. hahah!

If you guys have any suggestions, please feel free to send me a message. It will help me challenge myself and make some progress.
