Daily… Cityscape thumbnail
It was really hot again today, but tomorrow starts a cool week. I noticed quite a difference between this evening and last night.
I’ve been watching some documentaries from netflix, featuring the wonderful David Attenborough. I’ve watched a number from the ocean series and have been inspired to paint a fish. I had hoped to do that tonight, but I’m just feeling too tired. Perhaps tomorrow.
Instead, here’s a quick (5 min) thumbnail of a cityscape. If you take a closer look, you can see all the brush textures. The original file is 1600 pixels wide, but I zoom way out and just work on the overall composition. Initially I was just blocking in colors to use as a backdrop for a sketch, but then the blue shapes started to look like buildings, so I shifted in that direction. Put in a strong light source so I could have some nice hilites/rim lights on the buildings.

Daily… A hot fish
I had hoped to do more than a sketch today, but it’s just way too hot to have my computer on.
