FELIPE V, The mad king👑 / drawing step by step | by @christopherb
FELIPE V
Hi steemians:
On this occasion I would like to introduce you to an original character that I created in mid-2017, during my internships. Taking inspiration from those stories that tell how some kings fell into madness is that Felipe V was born, a young boy who took the throne after the fall of his father and slowly became aware of the true meaning of being King.

Step by step
1. Before starting, a new blank canvas opens.

2. I started with a sketch of Felipe.

3. I cleaned the sketch with the lineart and leave it ready for coloring.

4. I decided to start coloring by his face and eyes.

5. I continued shaded the hair a little of gray.

7. I colored, then, his sleeves and neck.

8. And I colored the rest of his clothes.

9. Finishing the process, I added the background of the drawing and I added dark shades to the hair.

I love the twisted story in which Felipe is wrapped and I find it very cool what is hidden behind his look of tiredness and disgust. The drawing and backstory of Felipe the truth that I like very much, so I would love to know, as always, his opinions in the comments. A big hug!

What a disturbed fellow. Evil mother. Castration, ouch!
The picture gets the point across well.
Thank you! Yes, a very severe and damaged mother, a mad queen. I think it's great that the image of Felipe generates such an impression because it was a goal he wanted to achieve, Felipe's empty stare
Very cool character! I have included this post in my weekly curation Ocean of Art!
oooh, thank you so much! I appreciate it very much and I really love that you liked the character
