Environment Test - Late Afternoonby *nicholaskole

Digital Art / Drawings & Paintings / Fantasy

I just threw this together- trying out something new!
I don't often do pure environment work or get quite this painty- but I've been pushing in that direction more and more, and I've really enjoyed experimenting with it!

This is just a quick style test, but I figured it would be neat to show you guys just a little process- it's not much, and I still intend to record some sort of tutorial video for character work- but I was pleased with how this came out.
I busted out some of my old Hollow Men methods for this- it was like seeing an old friend

It's really pretty generic and not conceptually fancy at all, but as an exercise in technique I think I learned a lot and I'm excited to see where I could push this!

Thank you for sharing the process sketches with the final result! Now I'm really inspired to try this. xD

im still trying to get better at drawing on a pc but let me try to understand how this was done. you made a sketch, dropped the darkest color down, added the basic color of everything, then gradually added in the lighting?

*nicholaskole Apr 8, 2013 Professional Digital Artist

that's exactly right

I like working dark to light when I paint like this, since adding the lights is fun

cool, I've been trying to improve my drawing and i think i get the process but need to practice it a little bit more.

I like seeing how you worked from a mostly cool colour pallete to something significantly warmer in the final piece. It's a very interesting process! In the strip along the top- in the last two images- did you paint the richer red tones into the piece or simply do a colour adjustment process (through the program, not manually)?
