Hi guys!
I'd like to share some stylized environmental paintings I did a few weeks ago. The goal of these was to try something new. Working in a new style took a lot of getting used to and I was pretty inefficient with the first piece. Once I got more comfortable, the second and third pieces went much faster. I did the third piece in around 3 hours!
For this new style, I referenced a few different pieces of work, but mostly drew inspiration from the Irish animation studio Cartoon Saloon - their artists work in a very specific style that I have always wanted to try. It was a super fun challenge.
Once I'd found my footing, I decided to try something more complicated. I was using a reference photo that a friend of mine took of a beach in Big Sur.
The last piece that I did was a painting of a small little house tree. For this, the biggest challenges were the plants. I had to draw a lot of them, and make them all different and interesting without being distracting. Finding the right method for the wood grain was a bit frustrating at first, too.
So that's it! Thanks for checking in, and let me know which piece is your favorite!
#2's shapes and color palette are so good! I don't think I've seen this one before...
Hard to say which one is the best, they all look awesome and a little creepy 😯. I'd probably pick the third one and hope something nice lives inside.
Glad you like them! I'm sure it is something nice, probably with a long beard.
This is so lovely. I loved the last one!. May i ask what program did you use to make this?
Thank you! They're all done in photoshop.
They are all great but the last one is my favorite, the colors stand out as well as the shadows and light.
Thank you! That one is my favorite too, I'm glad you like it!
Great stuff my friend :D!!
Thank you so much! Your art is beautiful too!
Great Work! It looks like you had fun creating these Worlds. Photoshop is a playground with endless toys. You just have to find out how to play. Mi favorite is the first one.
