ASTROPUNKS: art in progress
No, it’s not an ugly postcard, it’s kids wall art in the making!
The illustration began with a hazy image in my mind. The trees were clear, but the rest wasn’t. I did a few thumbnail sketches on paper, but the design mostly evolved on the computer.I learnt a long time ago to do progressive saves of a file, in case your design or illustration file gets corrupted… and so losing days, if not weeks of work.
Form comes easier to me than colour - you can see in the first frame the colour is atrocious! I knocked it back in the next few iterations… and then brought up the saturation and brightness towards the end.It often looks so easy when you view an illustration or artwork… but here’s evidence of the sweat!
