Sometimes you just do practice sketches for a specific purpose, but you end up being carried away and do a full picture.

I always thought that magic or superpowers related to the breath were kinda cool, and they seem to especially fit girls characters IMO.
It feels calm in a "I'm far more powerful than you are" way ,yet feminine somehow. In a word : kickass

I was reminded of that fact by my "Victory girl" drawing, which made me think a little about superheroes and therefore, superman's freezing breath.
But I thought : come on, a girl would look so much cooler using that power in a more "refined" way.

I thought I could later include that type of magic casting in any of my projects, so I began to do practice sketches.
In the end, my superheroine Victory girl [link] who was supposed to be a one-picture OC, was in for another round.

After a few sketches, I took the best and finished it into this final illustration.

I learned quite a lot from this drawing.
It's not very hard on sideview. But the front view for the "blowing something over my hand" is tough. You know it if you tried.
Also the breath itself is a challenge : you have to make it looking powerful and present enough, without actually hiding the character!
Those were the tough parts, I hope I somehow managed to get them right.

I also think I came up with not bad effects for the frozen robots. In complete modesty, of course

I am somewhat proud of this drawing that made me try lot of new things. Hope you'll like it.
