Mumei | Oct. 4, 2021 Illustration notes (Pixiv Fanbox)

The inspiration for this artwork just came out of nowhere. But anyway this is another paint on top of image.

The background image was sourced from Flickr. As you can see, color correction, balance and lighting changes the mood dramatically. I also painted and removed some things before blurring the background.

Here's the somewhat unblurred version of the illustration:

Sadly I haven't saved the modified unblurred version of the background.

Also here's a little guide to draw plants and some other textures. The translation is a bit rough but it's better than nothing. This is sourced from Seiji Yoshida. If you want to find him here's his youtube channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCsZd7WaHh2tMEO_-AsDv90A

That's all for today! Thanks as always!!!
