Sun's Petals (progression)
    #14271710 - 04/11/11 11:10 AM (12 years, 9 months ago)

Hey guys,

I started working up the concept of a new digital illustration piece.

It started as a sun with lotus petals.  From there I worked inwards on random, and some abstract, details.  I decided that the sun itself was not enough, so I placed a deformed strange-fruit tree, some mushrooms, plants, flowers, water, and clouds all around in a way to bring the whole piece together.

It started off as a simple pencil drawing (yes, I'm a bad manual artist).


I snapped a picture of it, placed it into illustrator and began tracing.  I've slacked on the detail of the top right of the sun, as it will be covered by the tree.  Here's where I'm at thus far:


The drawing took me about an hour, and the tracing has taken about two. 

I will be adding colour last (which will also be the most tedious part of the process).

I'm going to use this as a log to document my work (for my personal gain) but feel free to comment! :heart:

Have another quick update:

I've added some of the fruits and the main branch.  This took about an hour of arranging circles. :crazy2:

I plan on putting a few more hours of work into this tonight after I finish up some Calculus homework! =)  I hope to begin colouring by Easter.

Here's an update (sorry it has taken so long..):

I've mostly finished outlining all of the elements.  I've started to add colour to each.  I've got about an hour left of colouring to do, then I will start working on highlights and shadows, then finally on to texture.  I'll have it done by the end of this month!
