Work in Progress
Added 2018-12-12 17:08:11 +0000 UTCI feel like a human being again after lying on the couch for 5 days. Doing nothing always drives me crazy, so here I am, back at work!
I painted the base colours for this illustration today. Everything that comes after this is probably my favourite part of any artwork. The heavy lifting is done and the final is slowly coming into focus. I also love experimenting with different colour combinations, gradient maps, photo filters and all the crazy stuff Photoshop has to offer.
The image needs more warmth, which will come in once Iβm adding more light. Also, I just canβt help but use greens and blues. I love those colours so damn much.
And hey, I think I settled on a name for the little barn owl: Eiki. I read all the comments and suggestions Iβve gotten on Instagram, Twitter and here. This one was one that immediately resonated with me. Itβs cute and short and coincidentally, a good friend of mine suggested it, which makes it even more special.
I hope you like the illustration so far. π
