After I created the character of Saladin, now I created Richard the Lionheart, king of England and a rival of Saladin. The process of making is still the same and the difference is from the Lion illustration which is still a little bit challenging.

Add some values with complementary colors between yellow and purple
Clean the lineart and add some of colors. i took the colors from Richard the Lionheart reference and to make sure the harmony of colors. I use primary color pallete as the attention of character design.
