Started by blocking in the major light and shadow shapes, then refining the contrast within each area. A quick sketch study that I really enjoyed making. Completed in 1h 25m.

Appreciate you sharing some of your process! Maybe I’ll try and implement this technique for my backgrounds, although I haven’t drawn in a while… Great work as always!

@Hectic30523420 Thank you! I'm really glad this workflow was helpful to you. I truly appreciate it!

Alright alright buddy we get it your good. But on a serious note what do you think about when starting? Like can you picture the entirety of it what you want it to be or are you just thinking in steps?

Hi! Yes, I actually have a pretty clear picture of the final image in my mind before I start. I’ve been working as a concept artist for many years, so experience and a solid foundation help a lot. Combined with a workflow that I’ve refined over time, it allows me to paint much faster.🙏

👍🏻👍🏻

Thanks🙏
