Hello!
Recently I finished a new illustration piece and thought I’d share the drawing process! This illustration I’ve been meaning to bring to life for the longest time. I initially thought of the idea and sketched it out in a sketchbook. I’ve always told myself I’ll turn it into an illustration one day, but that day haven’t came around for the longest time.
It wasn’t until just recently I had the guts to do it! I think for the longest time, I was too afraid that bringing the sketch to life would ruin the illustration or meaning and mood behind the illustration. I had this idea the “it was already perfect” as a sketch. That turning it into a finished piece would not do the sketch any justice.
I’ve been meaning to add new pieces to my illustration portfolio, and thought back of this idea. I figured it was something I wanted in my portfolio. And so begins my process of turning the sketch into a drawing. While my original intentions were to do this drawing traditionally, I decided to do everything digital for the sake of time and convenience. I was afraid that going digital will make the piece appear too stiff, but with the right brushes I was able to achieve a painterly look!
In fact, I was so excited to finish this artwork, it took me a little under 8 hours (divided among 3 days) to finish it! After some minor adjustments to the piece, the below is the final piece! I was pretty pleased with the final results!
