I came up with this illustration, solely for the purpose of practicing while I have some time off to myself this month. To begin with, I came up with a theme, and after an hour going through various nature reference books, I was all set to go. The sketch was done with pencil on paper. Scanned on flatbed scanner at 360dpi.
The sketch was brought into Photoshop CS, and I choose to use photoshop's default brush setting to give me a consistent texture. Followed by deciding on creating simple lighting, tones and colour scheme for the illustration.
Almost done!
And finally everything seems almost in place, I added noise to the entire illustration to give it a matte finish.
Dear fellow illustrators, I value your comments, and I look forward to sharing more post like this one in the future! Happy drawing!

Thanks for sharing! The composition is great. The lighting is magical and unpredictable. Tricky to figure out where or how the girl is sitting. But that just adds to the dreamy feel. Curious to know which default brush you use and how u plan your lighting.
