Final illustrations Italy - Lago di Garda 🌸 (Week 3) (Patreon)

Good afternoon everyone! 😊

Final Illustrations

I loved the vibrant colours of last week's references! Also, how good look these spreads, with both pages filled with an illustration? 🤗

I first created a little sketch to get the perspective right. I used my sanguine pencil because it disappears easily when adding the brush pen layer and pencils!

After creating the sketch, I added my Tombow base layer and pencils! I created some colour swatches next to the illustration to try out which colours would be the best choice for this illustration!

The Riva del Garda reference was my favourite of this week! Such beautiful vibrant colours with all the flowers! It was also so much fun to draw the flower garden. 🥰

And last but not least... the Santuario de la Madonna reference! I loved the contrast between the mountains and castle and the beautiful red flowers in the front!
