Although I'm happy to make more Overwatch art, this actually was supposed to be something completely different. The original idea was a MyLittlePony-Overwatch crossover and in the first sketch Rainbow Dash and Tracer were next to each other and ready to race. The point of view was very different as well.
But then I realized that drawing two completely unrelated characters in relation with each other without messing up the shading and perspective was too difficult for me. Don't understand me wrong, I'm all for challenges and aiming high. It's the only way to make progress as an artist. However, I've also experienced many times in the past that trying the impossible and then failing can be very frustrating and demotivating. Especially if you spend many hours on something without result. At least not in form of a drawing.
So I decided to only draw one of the characters and because Tracer's sketch looked much better I chose her.

The most important thing about being an artist is evolving your skills. I guarantee you that anyone who takes it seriously and draws regularly can become a great artist. And challenging yourself is a very important part in that. And that's why I'll probably try my initial idea for the drawing when I feel I'm ready for it.

The final drawing is a combination of the more comic-style looking Tracer and the very traditional looking environment. One thing I really have problems with is perspective and how the objects react to the point of view. I wanted to use this drawing to evolve my skills in that area so I chose a very extreme perspective in front of Tracer looking directly at her. I really struggled with that but in the end, I'm happy with the outcome.
The shading was fairly normal and I had a lot of fun adding the texture to the leather jacket, pitch, grass, and hair.
I also had many problems with the hands. That pose is just so weird and there aren't many reference pictures for it. The hands alone took probably an eighth of the time, which doesn't sound like a lot but is actually pretty much.

The trees in the background are just to create interest and I'm not really happy with how they look. They just don't look like real trees. Maybe I'll evolve my skills in that area next time.

If you're interested, you can check out a version without linework here . You can also find the high resolution version (7234 x 4069) here .

Cheers, love! The cavalry's here!
