Artwork: Witch on Broomstick

A digital drawing of an elven witch riding a broomstick, seen from slightly below with the moon looming behind her. She's sitting side-saddle with her legs crossed. The witch is wearing a (bent) pointed hat with a wide brim. She has pointed ears and long ginger hair fanning out behind her. One of her eyes is rose-pink; the other is grey, slightly obscured by her fringe. Five coloured orbs orbit her head. She's wearing a short leather halter-top dress with separate leather sleeves. She's wearing thigh-high leather boots with green lacing. She has a couple of bracelets around one wrist, and an anklet around one ankle. This version of the drawing is in portrait orientation, cropping both ends of the broomstick. The vertical axis of the character is rotated clockwise about twenty degrees.

I'm trying to do more drawings from various different perspectives other than a directly level one in order to get a better handle of physical proportions as seen from different angles—and also so that I can learn to draw more dynamic scenes for future illustration work.

This is a slightly cropped variant of the original 'full broomstick' drawing, which was drawn in landscape orientation.

Coincidentally, though I didn't start off with such an intention, this drawing became effectively an updated version of this earlier drawing, drawn way back in the mists of 2022. I think I've improved! I hope I've improved.

June 3rd Update

Based on feedback, I made a revised version of the drawing, discarding the abstract background with a large moon overlooking the witch.
