Sheik - Rough Painting

Rough painting of Sheik drawn for fun a few days ago. I love the light-armor look of Sheik’s Hyrule Warriors redesign! I also wanted to try recording again, and screencaptured this while painting, and made a little video out of it to amuse myself - Click here for the sped-up process video on YouTube.

Some aspects of Sheik's redesign also surprised me - mainly the additions of ribbons and the bow by the head. I think those were the main reasons I wanted to try drawing this design - I love the design as a whole, but wasn't sure what I thought of the bow and ribbons. After drawing them, I decided I do like them. But I think it would be cool to have many different versions of Sheik, like we have many different versions of Link and Zelda. I hope with future games/redesigns that they continue with the more androgynous/masculine versions of Sheik, as well as more feminine versions. I want all the Sheiks!
