Not Your Average Princess - Vol. 3

I was asked by Adobe to stream for the Adobe Education Leaders Program on Behance. Before one stream I was not sure what I wanted to create, I decided to look at several old illustration and I found a sketch of Cinderella.

A few years ago, I started a series of character designs entitled NOT YOUR AVERAGE PRINCESS. I decided that during the stream I would change the normal sketch of Cinderella into a punk version. So all the punk elements were created spontaneously, including giving her the Gem & The Holograms style makeup.

There are now 5 video tutorials from the Live Stream on my Behance page. These tutorials comprise 17 hours of process from original sketch to final vector graphic.

I used Adobe Illustrator on my XP-Pen Artist 24 Pro to create Cinderella. The background image was created using Adobe Illustrator.

This is the final graphic. Cinderella was created using Adobe Illustrator and the background image was edited in Adobe Photoshop.

This the original pencil and ink sketch that I created a few years ago just for fun. I used a Pentel Quicker Clicker Mechanical Pencil and Sakura Pigma Micron Fineliners.

Here is a screen capture showcasing the vector graphic of Punk Cinderella in Adobe Illustrator.

Here you can see all the paths that were used to create the image. There are over 3000 layers!!!

In this screen capture, you can see the what the design looks like in Outline View.

I have developed a technique to create stunning eyes using vector graphic software.

I found a poster for the PIXIES that I loved, I decided to use the idea to create a similar poster. The photo of the girl comes from an old photo shoot that I did a few years ago.

I wanted to find a medieval like alley that could be part of a castle. I went to Adobe Stock and found exactly what I was looking for. Then it was time to start some heavy editing. I wanted in the alley to have kind of a back alley look where there might be a hidden goth bar or club. In the end, I added the poster... German band stickers... graffiti on both sides... a neon bar sign (also from Adobe Stock)... and adjusted the lighting/atmosphere.
