rainbow birch revisited
Added 2021-05-28 00:33:20 +0000 UTCSo here's that one dream-concept I sketched out several months ago. I came back to it because I have a lot of emotional attachment to it and it bothered me that I couldn't get it to look the way I wanted. I gave up during the sketch phase last time because I simply didn't have the understanding I have now, about iridescent hues. It's been kind of a bummer that I can't draw half as much as I would like to, but while I'm down for the count I am mainly studying and absorbing information so when I am able to apply it, I can do it better than before. I may do this for some of the other dream scenery too.
Anyway It's still a wip at this phase but it's the general direction I want to go in! I hope this was interesting haha.

to be honest, for this illustration I wanted the kind of dreamlike look that artists like rei_17 and awanqi @twitter tend to achieve so what I mostly gleaned was how they play neons/pastels against very muted colours to get that iridescent effect. I do however, study real life objects for a lot of the lighting and translucency techniques I like to employ. I've always been a bit of a magpie, i love shiny things hahah!!
