Illustration is relatively new to me after years of graphic design, branding, layouts, and advertising. I have spent the last few months working on developing my illustration skills and techniques.
I have mainly produced them through Procreate, as I love trying out hundreds of different brushes to create varied lines and textures.
Recently, I've been dedicating time to enhancing my digital art skills. This piece is inspired by a photograph I came across, and I used Procreate to bring it to life through my own interpretation.
In this piece, I combined techniques I learned from an online tutorial to explore colour and layering. The artwork depicts a whimsical flower fairy playing in a magical forest, with curious creatures observing her play. The process began with initial sketches created in Procreate, which were then imported into Photoshop for colouring and stylization.
Using an angular sketch style in Procreate I created an illustration of Ghost Spider and then experimented
with creating different backgrounds to complete the scene.
