Personal game development project about a witch and her coffee shop. She has a greenhouse to grow the ingredients for her recipes and cook the best dishes for her clients and neighbours. The art for this project is painted in watercolors with some gouache touches.

Personal character design project I started on October under the topic #Witchtober, each witch design is inspired by a random object/food.

Some behind the scenes

Unless needed/required I don't usually keep the process because I tend to erase and draw on top old sketches when I start a new piece so I don't usually go far than very simple thumbnails before chosen one to start drawing a digital clean sketch.
Sometimes the idea is very clear in my mind so I drew a more defined pencil sketch before drawing the clean one in procreate I will trace into the watercolor paper.I worked several years as concept and generalist artist on videogame industry so I have no problems providing more clear and detailed steps of the creation process of a piece when needed and I'm also used to work under art director guidelines.
