The Springs by Chase Restrepo |
- This isn't how you should work, but I had a foreground that I drew this AROUND, and I rather liked the sketch, so I decided to take it beyond just that.
- I put in the basic colors of each section after I finalized the composition.
- After that, I darkened everything to give it the night time feel I wanted, and worked over that.
- I added in layers of colors with different textured brushes until I got up to the highlights. I was very careful throughout this whole process to keep the many light sources consistent.
- After all the painstaking work of adding on colors by scratch, I added in the actual bright light sources, and the brightest highlights.
- Now I turned my attention to the water, and duplicated all the layers I had thus far, and flipped them over to resemble a reflection, applied a ripple filter, and did several other hours of tweaking and experimenting with it until I got it right.
- I added some color adjustments over the whole thing and was done with.
