Steampunk escape from attack of Big Ben foe - WIP stages

Creation of the Edwardian couple in WIP stages digital illustration

This digital illustration was completed during June 2020. Shown above are four stages demonstrating the completion of the artwork, beginning with the initial drawing, created on a Samsung tablet. The software was 'Sketchbook pro' and relies on a pressure sensitive pen, as supplied on the tablet.

Once the drawing has reached a satisfactory start, some rough colour ideas are then painted in using the same software as seen in the second, upper right panel. After this stage the time has come to do the artwork ' correctly' as it needs to be far larger than the tablet can cope with and more finely detailed. So the file, as PSD layers, is exported in to a windows desktop machine also running Sketchbook pro, the file enlarged considerably and the image painted over to a higher degree, as shown in the 3^rd panel.

In the 4^th panel can be seen the final image, where there are subtle changes to the composition and some of the elements, like the woman's face and other details. The whole image can be seen in detail on this link.

WIP stages of surreal Edwardian wasp woman

Created during August 2018, this illustration features a creature that appears to be have human and half wasp! It, or she, is enjoying a tea in elegant surroundings. The painting was partly influence by Gainsborough and other artists of the same era, although the woman is dressed in attire from the Edwardian era.
The illustration was created digitally. Initially it was drawn and then painted roughly on an android 'galaxy' pro with 'S' pen, as shown in the first two panels. When the design had got to a working solution, the file exported and work then continues on a W10 computer. 'Auto sketchbook pro' is used on both platforms, with final grading done within Photoshop, as shown in the last panel. 
The finished illustration can be seen on this link.
