First of all, welcome to all new patrons. Thank you so much for joining! <3
I'll start working on the next tarot card today.
But before that, I wanted to share these two photo studies with you. I've had A LOT of fun painting them and I think I'll soon be ready to incorporate more elaborate environments into my personal illustrations. :] I wanted to capture the cozy, magical feel that Studio Ghibli's background paintings give me. But don't get me wrong, I didn't have to force myself to mimic that style. Instead, it all flowed very naturally and effortlessly. The process made me fall in love with painting again (vs. drawing).
I did my best to keep the layers intact in the study on the right. So I'll be including the .PSD in this month's rewards. Brushes, too. Also, I recorded the process so that I can put it up on my YouTube channel soon.
I hope you like these. :]
