Using the pencil to sketch out the draft of the poster, like the format of the poster, background, portrait, etc.

I used watercolour to paint the background of the portrait, and draw elements which are ( my cousin )Katie's favourites, like using purple, blue, and green to draw the universe, creating some mini planets, moon, etc.
Also, if you look at more details, you will discover that I designed a special frame, in which I have combined the ocean & water elements inside, like the shape and line of the water droplets and waves.
Step 3 :

I started to use black & dark brown watercolours to draw the hair, and paint the light orange colour of the face. Also, I used some colourful markers to draw the patterns, and lines of the planets & galaxies.
Step 4 :

Using the marker scratched out the outline, like the features of the face, hair, etc. Also, I used the same hair colour to draw the eyes-browns, light brown colour to draw the shadows of the neck & nose and the same face colour to paint the neck
Step 5 :
![](https://static.wixstatic.com/media/e3a931_9e6b46d530704340902a18e472863018~mv2.png/v1/fill/w_980,h_1307,al_c,q_90,usm_0.66_1.00_0.01,enc_auto/e3a931_9e6b46d530704340902a18e472863018~mv2.png)

I used black and dark brown watercolours to draw the eyes and used red watercolours to paint the mouth. Also, I used the White-out to draw the reflective light of the eyes. Also, use green and grey-green colours to paint the cloth.
Step 6 :

Short Refection :
During the drawing process, I have met some obstacle of drawing the face by watercolor. Fortunately, I have fixed problem at the end. After this experience, I learned that drawing watercolour, which needs to be very careful and couldn't use too much water to blend it out.
