Description Hi all, Here is my new piece for the beginning of 2015. Hopefully it shows you my progression of quality now im under the business name of Drawn to Fantasy.

The pencil work took the longest time for me, i actually drew this by hand 1st then scanned it in and redrew it. The coloring was maybe 10-13 hours. For me this was a big piece having not really done many backgrounds in my works and it went through several changes over the course, I didn't even plan on doing the trees but in the end i was happy i did.

Originally Aurelia was in a different stance sort of crouching and the head was higher. But i when i started to finish the pencil work it wasn't 100%. So i changed it and made her sitting so the piece looked more relaxed.

When i 1st drew it on paper the plan was to have no background other then a clear blue sky zoomed further back on a hilltop. Then i started playing around with hills which was working ok then shapes started to come to life the further i kept at it. Most of the background was done in 5 hours and alot of it was redone today

I will be uploading a work in progress on this one so you can see what i mean about the background changes etc..

Here is the process - 

Hope you enjoy this.

Thanks for looking.

Lighting and shading? :3

RobertCrescenzio In reply to ZenakuRinbi [2015-07-13 05:35:56 +0000 UTC]

haha the basics hey? i always try to have a light source in mind before i start a page and get some colours in a pallet and try and stick to those and variations of them on the side so your colours are in check.

It helps set a mood to. Use real life pics for colours especially time of day helps pic colours you think you need VS colours that are realistic. You will find colours in real life are nothing like that of what you thought they were and can change the mood and realism a lot. I forget to do this a lot but it helps.

Always do concepts 1st. never go to finish art in the 1st pass you will be forever changing perspective and colours. Remember surfaces always have shape so keep that in mind with lighting. 

Go and check out Jesus's tutorials on lightning. His early videos teaches you the fundamentals and practice you are after. I watch most of his videos and he is a nice guy to.

taibossigai [2015-02-10 15:34:20 +0000 UTC]

Very nice! I agree, your decision to put the girl in a cross-legged position instead of crouching makes it feel much more natural. The background looks great too! The trees and mountains really bring some depth into the picture. The waterfall is beautiful, and I like your use of the bright light shining over the first cliff too and how the dragon's wings are visibly translucent.
