A shimmering glow spreads throughout, like countless gold glitter pieces laid out like a goldsmith’s work. This is a mysterious and beautiful country where a soft, blurry bokeh effect and light reflections create a dreamlike splendor. Style the hair in “sharp tufts” and “sharp flows”; the bangs and hair ends are composed of triangles like icicles or crystals. The crown should feature snowflake motifs and crystal spikes. The ice-themed royal vibe is primarily conveyed through clothing and accessories. Make robes or long cloaks in a “vertical silhouette.” Attach parts like “ice crystal patterns” or “transparent board-like elements” to the shoulders, chest, and hem. Express “cold regions” and “nobility” through fur. The color palette is based on white, light blue, silver, and light purple. Spread the hands and flip the cloak. Snow powder falls. Make the feet look like an “ice floor” with faint reflections. Behind, place the silhouette of an icicle or ice castle, and sprinkle white particles that look like dancing snow. In coloring, use the contrast between cool colors and white to emphasize “shining ice.” Shading is blueish gray or bluish purple. Highlights are white, applied strongly along the edges. Only for ice parts, slightly increase saturation to make them shine more than others. The skin is flesh-colored and white; the eyes are blue; the lips are pink; the hair is platinum blonde; the clothing is gold leaf and snowflakes. First, draw only the light and shadow in a single color such as gray or sepia, then layer transparent colors over that to finish. It is a dot art with fine, see-through knitted patterns. It is a fantastical portrait created with ultra-fine lines, the figure, and long hair. These are ideas for achieving a “fantastical” effect using only lines and hair. Fantastical scene. Abstract the flow of the hair to slightly resemble waves, smoke, or plant vines. Gradually make the hair ends thinner and more faded until they disappear. Subtly add star-like small dots or thin rings in the hair, using only lines. Barely draw facial shading; only strengthen the outlines and eye area with bold lines, and let the hair’s density create a sense of air. If you reduce facial lines and focus more details in the hair, the hair is more likely to act like “space” or “mist.” Fine, see-through knitted patterns. The girl is a half-human, half-fairy. Parts of her skin, hair, eyes, etc., “emit a faint glow of their own.” The light is not too strong, just gently illuminating the surroundings. The background is darker, making the glow stand out better. Facial features are basically human-like, with a slightly innocent girlish look. Only her ears are slightly pointed, giving a “fairy-like” feel. Her build is slender and graceful; drawing her neck and limbs a bit longer creates a delicate impression. Her eyes are slightly larger, with a faint light like a light source in the pupils. The edges of her hair glow, a pale gold or light blue. On the skin, light particles float here and there, giving a milky-white radiance. The iris parts of the eyes are soft, such as emerald green. For luminous effects, apply a gradient like “stronger on the outside, softer towards the center,” which makes the light look natural. The background uses gradients or blurs; adding a soft sky or haze with light gradients or blurs instantly makes it look more fantastical. (oekaki-zukan.com)
