Grumpy Buttercup of Power Puff Girls - Artwork Gone Wrong
![IMG_20221011_222238 - Copy.jpg](https://images.hive.blog/DQmXDtEE7FqGeh2LxH49nuS7m17A7Rnz9KaKBX88UEubdQ7/IMG_20221011_222238%20-%20Copy1.jpg)



Hello everyone! Today I am going to share the process of an artwork I did for fun yesterday. This is a character called Buttercup from the cartoon called The Power Puff Girls. I grew up watching this actually. There are three girls altogether and I picked Buttercup because I wanted to draw a grumpy looking girl. The medium I used for this artwork is colour pencils.

<br>

Usually I draw the outline using a pencil first but this time I was so excited that I drew it straight using a black gel pen, which means I can't do much to fix mistakes in the event I make any. I was in the mood of just going with the flow which is why I took this reckless decision. Reckless but harmless anyway so I guess it was worth the fun?
<br>

So, I realized something was off with the drawing and then realized that I drew the eyes wrong! UGHHH!!! I had a huge flash of regret cross my face and I was on the fence of making the decision on whether to continue the drawing or just give it up and move onto a fresh piece again. I was almost mad at myself for being so carefree, or rather careless.

The mini title on top is was literally my mind voice at the moment. Well, I finished outlining the rest of the drawing in spite of the awful looking eyes I have her. Then, I tried to fix the eyes using a white gel pen, to no avail. I managed to make it lighter to an extent though.
<br>

![IMG_20221011_195334.jpg](https://images.hive.blog/DQmTqpqSAepj9Vz9ib6FmyZGNq2PCvREocKBBP9iXCz21GT/IMG_20221011_195334.jpg)

Next, I just told myself, "To hell with it" and went ahead with the colouring. I had a tiny chunk of hope that I can fix the eyes using colours as I go. I coloured the skin first to give some life to the girl.
<br>

I know cartoons are generally 2D but I still wanted some 3D effect which is why I thought of added another colour and a little bit of a gradient effect for every part of the artwork so I added another colour to the skin.
<br>

![IMG_20221011_200322.jpg](https://images.hive.blog/DQmTdwD6Q9V5TYELMtiiBEamnoDCv9sULFSxMt5Uv34cHrZ/IMG_20221011_200322.jpg)

Buttercup is the green girl so I coloured her eyes and dress in green.
<br>

I coloured her eye in purple.
<br>


![IMG_20221011_200953.jpg](https://images.hive.blog/DQmZny2nFguLetP33V918vnVCX7BpV61cRUaLRfbCmdGLry/IMG_20221011_200953.jpg)

To make it droopier and more restless, I added a darker shade of purple.
<br>

![IMG_20221011_201439.jpg](https://images.hive.blog/DQmcr6HsNbW78mddz9Y9XhuTRMdMZ8v81JBS6kBRnqNuKST/IMG_20221011_201439.jpg)

I coloured the background in pink because it is the colour that appears in the wording theme of the cartoon in the beginning.
<br>

![IMG_20221011_202240.jpg](https://images.hive.blog/DQma5iecHwer5GDp2Y2WWVgMwSUn4SWq2ypGVpsnFtorKdF/IMG_20221011_202240.jpg)

I added a lighter shade of pink so pink wont dominate the rest of the artwork.
<br>

![IMG_20221011_202520.jpg](https://images.hive.blog/DQmY6n4YHhNrJshSP7pis43HhiFipWt5pM3F7epRTyNjPXR/IMG_20221011_202520.jpg)

It was very difficult to choose a proper blanked colour for her. She usually uses green but I thought there will be too much green so I mixed a bunch of colours.
<br>

![IMG_20221011_203003.jpg](https://images.hive.blog/DQmZugk2NH5Yn9L2ChWqyJDqNz1V2gsnEFWW9LRUnWJoDUp/IMG_20221011_203003.jpg)

That is my colour set by the way.
<br>

Done with the blanket.

So I thought the purple and yellow go along with the rest of the colours and brighten up the artwork.
<br>

![IMG_20221011_221150.jpg](https://images.hive.blog/DQmbJHtpdCcqDLUzNeSa6DiFZeBiDeX7JoUywHrWmpbG4dn/IMG_20221011_2211501.jpg)

The hair was tricky. I didn't want it to be completely black as that will overshadow all the other colours so I mixed some brown in.
<br>

![IMG_20221011_222238.jpg](https://images.hive.blog/DQmYMgF29HzuRip8GRVdC9CMm9tm5HeTMafK2Vs9VxQviY3/IMG_20221011_222238.jpg)

There she is. My little grumpy looking Buttercup!

This is the cropped version. She just woke up from sleep and is already grumpy. This is how exactly I wake up as well when I pull off an all-nighter the previous day. I do know it is bad but sometimes I binge game or binge read. Depending on what I did, sometimes I wake up happy despite being sleep deprived :D
