Hello everyone! I know it’s boring to hear the same thing again and again but not every day is fine. So I’m going to still ask you how you guys are doing and hope you have a great day. If it’s not then stay strong cause you are doing an amazing job and you are an amazing person.
Now let’s go to my today’s illustration. Well, my today’s illustration is how humanity is towards nature and I did it in Autodesk. I don’t know if it turned out the way I wanted it to express to you guys. Honestly, what I had in my mind was a hand that looks like soil but it ended up just a normal hand and I couldn’t figure out how to make it look like soil. I wanted to put the concept about how nature holds itself like the soil, water, and plants. But as it ended up as a human hand, I realized how humanity looks at nature’s beauty and takes from nature by draining its life source. Now, I know there are many ways to express it like deforestation, water pollution, air pollution, etc. Instead, I tried to keep it as simple as I can like the natural plant. So let’s start with the hand first you can see below.
Here, I have kept the layers in 'multiply effects' and used simple brown color to outline or you can say sketch the hand. Next, I used another new layer and set it in glow effect then copied the sketched hand and resized it as you can see.
Then I colored it completely in a new layer.
Next, I added a new layer and kept it in 'glow effect'. Later, I colored the palm of the hand.
Here, I added a new layer again and kept it in 'multiply effects' then shaded the outer part of the hand to give a shadow effect.
Then I sketched some flowers in a new layer.
In the next one, I duplicated the layer by keeping the effect in multiply mode and modified it a little.
Then I colored the flowers.
I tried to express water splashing from the hand. So I first colored the base of the water in a new layer without any effect and opacity in 80%.
Here, I created a shadow of the water in a new layer without any effect and kept the opacity 100%. To create a shadow effect, I used a darker brown color of the hand and blended it using the blend tool.
Then, I added the same color shade in the water to show the depth in the water and I also did this in a new layer.
Now, I added the 'light effect' on the water by using the same color as the water and kept the new layer in glow effect with also a little blending and erasing.
This is the last part, where I just added highlight in the water in a new layer, keeping the 'glow effect' and using the same watercolor.
That’s it. I hope you guys liked it. Thank you and bye-bye.
