Hi freinds!
It's my original idea to Art Explosion contest by @juliakponsford.
This picture can be understood as you wish, I'll not explain, because it is too multifaceted concept...
Sketch
Color palette choosing
Adding primary color shades.
Sometimes in the process of drawing, I see that I'm not satisfied with the some colors, and I begin to adjust them.
Golden sword... wow!
I like that!)))
Detalization & form correction
Texturisation
Then I decide I didn't like a tree behinde snake
And I add oter effect things
Sword hilt seems to me very saturation - I make it darken.
Some magic
Last steps: choosing a color background, adding a final texture, drop shadows
Still grandge frame and some color correction
It's ready!
Have a nice day!
Gera.
