Step-by-step: latest artwork ‘’Kalos, but real #1’’ (Patreon)

Landscape and background art (of nature specifically tbh) is my number one weakness and this series is my excuse to practice, but my GOD the struggle… but hey now i can paint waves and clouds a little better than before lmao

Rough sketches and composition adjustements:

Lineart:

Color blocking:

Flats and quick placeholders for clouds (cloud brush on procreate) and waves (me losing my mind already)

First attempt at clouds (failed lmfao), and tentatively working on waves

Second attempt at clouds (success!)

Shading and finishing touched on clouds, waves, and the wingulls
