Yesterday I decided to draw something after eating breakfast. I started off with a random face and then decided to transform the face into one of my favorite Heroes of the Storm characters, Johanna. Now Johanna is originally from Diablo. What makes her stand out is that she is a female crusader.

I had so much fun drawing that I decided to take quick shots of my progress. It isn't one of my better drawings, but since everything was pretty much made-up on the spot, it was entertaining. I actually have no idea how Johanna should actually look when appearing more "life-like". Anyway, I'll briefly share my progress...

Step 1:   Draw some random facial features

I drew a random face to start off with. Obviously it didn't look great (actually it looks quite bad, let's be honest), but I thought that I could fix it a little afterwards.

Step 2:   Draw some facial features that are similar to Johanna's

What I recalled most about Johanna is her hairstyle. She has her hair shaved off on her left-side. So I quickly outlined some hair. 

Step 3:   Draw some body features that are similar to Johanna's

Johanna is a crusader. She wears really heavy armor and has a gigantic shield. Her shield will not be visible, so I just roughly outlined how I think her armor looks in the game.    

Step 4:   Do some shading

This is a pretty straight-forward part. I just darkened some parts of her armor and her face.

That's it. I am somewhat pleased with the resulting sketch, but to be honest I am not sure if my drawing could really pass for Johanna. Maybe if you have a great imagination, it could be acceptable xD. I haven't played Diablo (where she is actually from), but I will definitely put it on my to-do list.

I have been playing Heroes of the Storm for the last couple of hours. I think it is a really epic game! As I'm writing this, I'm actually in-game waiting for other players to be matched with me so I can play a quick round.

There were a few things that I thought would bother me (coming from DotA). The lack of item purchases in the game has turned out to be very cool. Instead of buying items, you get to choose "upgrades" to your skills. I like it cause I don't have to return to base or visit a shop just to buy items.

I also like how the game consists of characters from other epic Blizzard titles (World of Warcraft, Starcraft and Diablo). If you've played some of them, you really feel quite at home in Heroes of the Storm.

I think this game is definitely going to stick with me for a while! If you haven't played it, I definitely recommend you get it. Best of all, it is free to play!
