Drawing Saurfang from World of Warcraft - With Steps

Hello people!

Long time no see, I drew a lot in the meantime but did not have the time to share it here with you because of work. Nevertheless skills are being upgraded, no day skipping with drawing and physical activity even tough I work night shifts, just to get the food right and find some line of work where I can contribute with drawing.. Ah wishes...

Anyway here's the art:

**High Overlord Saurfang**

Now, here we have an orc who we all know and love, from World of Warcraft series. He was there for a long time, loyal to the Horde, a warrior with a great sense of honor! Even in times of peril he showed mercilessness, respect and will. There were some hard decisions that he had to take to honor the Horde but it left some scars on his soul. 

He was always there, some people do not remember him, that is I guess because he is a guy like that, an old warrior with a death wish that he can not accomplish no matter how hard he tries. There will be a time but his time does not seem to come yet. 

With all this in mind and new WOW expansion coming out where Saurfang is one of the main protagonists I decided to give him a portrait inspired by the events and my respect for the writing of a character.  

- The illustration was drawn on a paper with an ink marker without sketching and scanned so it can be colored and detailed in Photoshop software on a personal computer with a help of my cheap lil drawing pad friend

Here's the process:

![nova tura.3.jpg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmNsrnv5Vxv725m5fjPXVs64XSfcTb5h3UpeKtcMAu3eLz/nova%20tura.3.jpg)

The rough scan of the drawing

![01.jpg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmYRmw2FVMarok8wWhpBMqDJonW3VmHnsV789d2jV9vXpZ/01.jpg)

Cleaned the background, left the lines, made them have more impact while making them blacker and placed some background placeholder here

![02.jpg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmR1N8tvoWkSjP92AavTvwHyaxvwgUo48E5Rcysrk8fKzx/02.jpg)

Grey base is added for coloring purposes, to separate him from that purple 

![03.jpg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQme2hEX4Mtmn1k3zEoMNxnQkjbhecQWYCzz4zmHSsoGYMm/03.jpg)

Spent some time on coloring him

![04.jpg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmSneR5VF54B449uotPWiAp65Zq7DeotZBxLn57Ubi9it9/04.jpg)

Added a bit of texture work here and there 

![05.jpg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmQwYV7ck6e4xu4QnRMQiLVcwHUWRUJiSu5Tsp3oixp4to/05.jpg)

Shadows and lights works 

![nova tura.jpg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmct2hyZc6fmK7eBwmA7Hji6iPPUr2fNAerJow5R3B2Kbh/nova%20tura.jpg)

In the final step I worked on lighting and details to polish it and made some color reductions to kick it up a bit


Hope you like it, or find it useful or inspiring I enjoyed working on this!

Have a nice day!! 

Se ya!!

Process photos are fantastic, have you ever considered making a gif?

I love how the orcs look from Warcraft, they are how I envision all orcs!

Cheers!

Hey, yeah! Made those on some of the previous posts, but I avoid it due to a limited time frame at my disposal. Yeah, me to, best designs!

I will never get tired of orc art, especially when it's got a line and shading style like this.
