Shibuya Day Background

This will be the background for one of my recent favorite characters. Although that series has a lot of characters that I like. Because of the amount of details this felt a bit daunting when I first started working on it. But not much one can do except just do it. Having said that, after I finished working on it I decided to buy some transparent rulers to make long straight lines easier and more uniform. I don’t know why I was so hardheaded and didn’t do so earlier.

The background it self made me appreciate Google Maps so much more. I forgot that I could just use it to get background locations from different vantage points and modify my location to get a more aesthetic shot on the fly. I’m so glad I’m living now.

Cityscape Background

This is the background for a drawing I made last year of Kurapika. To augment the background lighting I had a separate layer with Color dodge that seems to work quite well for both reflections and making light brighter and the surrounding of the lights and still keep the details of the painting.

I wonder how I will develop this technique in the future.

Hasta la proxima,
