Summary

### Summary

In this video tutorial, Justine demonstrates how to draw Jennifer Lawrence’s costume as Mystique from X-Men. The steps include drawing the body and modifying it from a pre-drawn girl, outlining with a black pen, coloring with markers, and adding highlights and shading to give the impression of roundness and curves.

Highlights

• 🎨 Draw the body: Modify the pre-drawn girl to create the desired body shape for Mystique.
• ✍️ Color the costume: Use ultramarine blue as the base color, navy blue for shadows, white for highlights, and blend from dark blue to white using a blue purplish color pencil.
• 🎨 Draw hair: Color life red and later blend with brown and orange to make it less dramatic.
• 🖋️ Add shadows: Use navy blue for shadowing under the neck, breasts, and inside of the arm.
• ✏️ Draw spots on Mystique’s costume: Add spots on her forehead, one on her cheek, and large ones on her shoulders and belly area.
• 🎨 Color the hair: Use color pencils to add highlights and depth to Mystique’s hair.
• 🌀 Add highlights and shading: Enhance the 3D effect of the costume using white for highlights and different shades of blue for shading.

Key Takeaways

• The artist begins drawing with white, where there’s a lot of light, including her shoulder, arm, and breasts due to the 3D nature of the drawing.
• The artist uses a horizontal pencil technique for adding blue color, transitioning from dark marker blue to pencil through the base color to white, giving an impression of depth on her thigh.
• The artist works on her upper body, but decides to continue highlighting some areas to give it a 3D feel and show hard parts that should stick out.
