Splinterlands Art Contest Week 256! (ADELADE BRIGHTWING Fan Art)

After 4 years on hive, i can proudly say my character designing art as improved a lot thanks to some people @solumviz @deddywox @alexa.art @brataka @japex1226 😉, thank you guys so much , i have definitely made a lot of progress.
for this weeks @splinterlands contest , ill be creating the fan art of Adelade Brightwing , her simple blue color combo, looks so sleek and simple, that's why i chose her. Don't judge my wings.
Note to self: learn how to create wings, I've seem to have forgotten about that part ,and in some cases that gonna be useful in a lot of scenarios for everyday things like birds, e.t.c

  well done you guys, you all are inspirational, keep up the good work. Good luck to this weeks entries and contestants , lets get it!

Heres the process :
As a great wise old man once told me, always use references and pose @japez1226😉, once i found the reference i wanted to use, all left was to just set up the various anatomy and placements of the bod parts,

cleaning up the sketch didn't take me a lot of time at all unlike other illustrations whereby the clean up was very crucial.

i don't really know if my style of greyscale is right but can someone please tell me how , cause i don't think I've fully gotten the method.

reference :

that will be all for now guys,
4 years on hive and we are still here, just wanna thank you guys si much fo r the love, the support, from the curators to voters, to the commenters, to the mentors , and even the bots, thank you guys so much, i really appreciate it.
THANKS SO MUCH FOR STOPPPING BY,
and ill see you in the next one.
