After a year of drawing this on and off, I finally finished it! I don't know how I was able to finish it even, since I tend to abandon works if it has been in progress for weeks. I guess the message of this one is so important that it gave me the motivation to do so.

Anyway, this one was quite fun to make tbh. I drew the figures one by one in their own layers. There were about 28 different figures and I just duplicated them for the numbers to look high.

I started with a black and white sketch and sort of like a "broad" idea of how it would look like. I did a lot of research on angles, lighting, and some references since landscape is my weakness. I mostly just draw close up figures or focus more on the idea rather than the technical aspects of drawing.

As you can see, the angles changed haha and I don't want to make it too complicated for my brain so I did what is simple yet easy to understand at first glance.

Each figure is its own layer so I can freely move them around and change sizes as well that corresponds to the distance etc. The amount of layer in total is 120+. 💀 The ram upgrade I did before this was so worth it haha.

I experimented with the colors as well and settled with the figures position and sizes too.

I then decided to change the background colors. :P

Then I added the abstract colors and stuff with different brushes and also the doodles to make it look candy-vibe. I was originally planning on adding big trees and candies in a non-doodle form but I decided against it since I want the figures to be focused.

Then of course the final work.

I like that I was able to successfully combine different shapes and styles without it looking weird together. Those years of hiatus in art really gave me some knowledge in drawing and colors since I was also watching art tutorials from time to time.

I hope you like it!
