A fantastic fantasy that occurred in my dream.

It was kind of like Dota 2. But a little less fun and scarier. Misty foggy atmosphere sheltering a wild beast. One whose eyes can be seen through the clouds. The dream was so messy yet perfectly alluring.

When I woke up, I remembered a tad bits of it. But the environment and the beast stuck in my head. I was having my coffee and only thinking about the possible ways to capture my dream through illustration.

Perfect. That'd be a great way to increase my skill and to preserve a memory. Killing two birds with a stone. Started working on it passionately.

The blurs were kind of making my laptop laggy. It was getting somewhere. I was kind of happy with it.

Next, I wanted to add a tree. It would be a cinematic angle. Only a part of the tree would be visible.

I want to add an archer lady. Better if she is in action. Probably flying (jumping high) while bowing. I had to create the warrior twice. I didn't like the first one and had to redo it.

Adding the knife:

Now for the beast. I drew this not a nicely visible frame of the beast. But it looks dull, so I tried changing the beast and tried to give it a proper shape.

What am I thinking? I can't change the beast! That's one of the core gems of the dream. The eyes through the clouds still gave me thrill.

Redraw the beast for the third time.

Man oh man!! I was loving it.

I drew the beast completely and added texture to the moon and finished the tree and lightings and everything. The final product came out such this:

Since I completed my drawing, I could finally be in peace.

When I started illustrating it, was morning.

As I uploaded this to my deviantart, behance, dribble and Instagram, It was night. I was going to sleep.

Let's see if the dream continues from there or I encounter any other magical dream that is worth illustrating down. Time would tell.

Learning Illustration with YouTube: My Journey in Adobe Illustration : 1

So I have been making some logos for a while now. But it's incomplete without learning to make it the proper way. And there comes the Vector Art. Installed Adobe Illustration. Had to go for the cc6 version as my pc runs on win 8.1 and the newer versions require the pc to be on windows 10. (God I hate win 10). So later I came to the realisation that the cc6 and the older versions are incapable of turning the corners of an object to rounded ones. One must copy the shape, transform it to a rounded cornered one from the drop-down window, use the tool "Slice" and replace the target. If it's going over the head for some people, bear with me, please. I had to install the newer version cc 17. I think that is the latest update as far as it doesn't ask you to have your windows upgraded to 10 but it comes with a new feature. The 'rounding corner option' introduced from this version turned to be a saviour and let you bypass all the 'to-dos' tasks mentioned e...

Learning Illustration: 4 : Colour Swatches and Gradient ( Adobe Illustrator )

Writing this down before I hit the bed. Just watched a movie with Winnie, "The Croods". I had already seen the movie years ago. But I wanted her to watch it. Anyway, I am getting off-topic, This would be a short and fast catch up on the illustration class as it's getting late. So much to do, so much to learn, so little time. In the class by EnvatoTuts+ , Mr Dan taught us things about colour swatches. It was all about colours. The usage of colour swatches for faster colouring. Adding customised colours to the swatches. And the most interesting one was the colour theme which uses the adobe cloud and shows a variety of colour combinations for a vibrant and eye-catching result. The community's most picked and voted colour combinations and adding them to the colour swatches can bring life to a dull illustration. And for people who don't like adobe clouds, we were given websites where we can pick other good colour combinations as well. And we were asked to fill colou...

Deviantart and Instagram for Digital art?

Learning skills feel better when shared. When you draw your first piece of illustration, the excitement and satisfaction are out of the world. But when you are the only one staring at the art you made, another pair of eyes can be so rewarding. There are plenty of websites to share digital art. But I picked Deviantart and Instagram. Deviantart is such an amazing website that holds artists from all around the world of different level of expertise. The community is nice. People share their arts and they support each other with feedback. Then Instagram is no stranger to anyone I believe. Instagram is an American photo and video sharing social networking service created by Kevin Systrom and Mike Krieger. In April 2012.... Okay okay, no copy-pasted long description haha. So, my idea is to post one good drawing of mine produced in illustrator, colour calibrated and signed in photoshopped. Like this drawing of mine. This image is posted in my Deviantart (DexLearning...
