Digital illustration process - The CreativeMindClass Blog

When I'm free I like to do 30-minute-hour research or other explorations in which I can do whatever feel like during the day. Doing this has helped me grow, but it also allowed me to discover which things I liked.

Nowadays, I like to focus on the color of light and also how to describe textures in a simple way so I don't have to be too detailed in every aspect. I usually maintain my designs pretty close to real life however, in the future I want to try to push shapes more and become more artistic with my artwork.

If I begin a painting, usually I love laying the main forms initially, either using BW or just straight with the color. If I think it's essential to start by drawing lines initially. Once I have a good basis, I will map into the light shapes as well as shadow shapes on separate layers. Then, I start to paint or render it in a variety of ways, from huge to tiny particulars.

To create the Streets of London painting I used a similar process. To create clean edges and keep things neat, I made use of a number of layers. Additionally, I had the primary light in an additional layer.

The layers make me feel less anxious about making mistakes. But when I'm comfortable in the state of my painting, I begin to combine a couple of things, only keeping those things that I believe are necessary.

For me, colours are an "feel" aspect, and I simply go with what feels right. There are a variety of references that I look at to help me get the perfect colours. Sometimes I mix references and others I use only the same.

It's definitely a good idea to learn about color and light theory so you know what you could do to help make the global color palette and the values better.

It's hard for me to say what the most important thing I do to create my work... I like to experiment with diverse styles, techniques, and subjects and am inspired by others artists.

I'm only a few months into my artistic journey that I am very much still trying to determine my identity as an artist, and what my style is. One of the main differences nowadays is that I don't think about it as much as I did in the past and I think that's making an enormous difference.
