Hi friends!
Finally I've repaired my computer and can return to my favorite digital painting!
First picture I wanted to draw was a continuation of my drawing series about Singing Forest and their magic animals.
Last time I met you with Blue Owls, do you remember?
Now I decided to draw a Singing Forest itself.
What do you think it might look like?
Something like this...
I saw a story of that drawing in the sky. One day I looked out the window and saw how a clouds had formed strangely.
I immediately made a sketch of this kind, so as not to forget.
I started my drawing in Paint Tool SAI 2, but sometime I used Photoshop when I needed a unusual form of brushes...
Maked a strokes of base colors
Above there will be flashes like the northern lights.
I thought it would look magical
Choosed a dark color gradient for background as deep space
Aurora Borealis is shining!
One of my lover Photoshop brushes I created myself.
I created two layers, lower of them was bluring to make a soft glow
This is magic reflaction from trees
A сolorful trees of Singing Forest.
I drew their leaves in an unusual spiral shape, with intertwined branches.
In this step I drew a cloudy enviroment around of trees.
These are also various bizarre forms. I used two of my brushes - like a cloud with soft wet edges and a basic round with scattering options.
Details.
Spiral tops of trees
The I decided to resize my picture to make the composition more expressive.
and maked a glow for trees (blured copy of layer and set blending mode to Screen)
The I wanted a forest has more saturation color and replace a copy blured layer above the original.
And change blend mode to Linear Dodge (Add)
I don't know what a star buildings they are - may be a Chrystal Castles from a space ice growing on the asteroids.
But it must be beautiful too!
And final element - a music from Universal falling to leaves of forest.
How can draw a music?
I think, as a delicate chains of stars...
It remains to draw distant stars and planets in the depths of space and some color correction.
This is how it is, the Singing Forest, growing somewhere in unknown outer space, able to hear and reproduce the music of the stellar spheres...
I hope you'll like a story of creation this picture.
Have a nice and creative day!
Gera
