Hey all! I'm back again with progress on a new illustration in the cultist series. I managed to finish the previous illustration and I really think I nailed the rainy city street prompt I gave myself. I've learned a lot about drawing backgrounds and how to place a character in a scene. That's the main goal of this series. I expect not to like some of them (like the first illustration) and that's okay. Art is a journey. It's okay to not be fully happy with a finished drawing, but it's important to understand what aspects of a piece you don't like so that you can learn for the future. Once I complete a few more, I might write a reflection where I compare the illustrations and discuss what I learned. Writing these breakdrowns will be really important, I think.
Here's where I'm at currently. I plan on having this character perform on a stage with an audience in shadow. We'll see if I achieve that. After this illustration, I'm taking a brief break on the series to work on a fun piece that I plan on using for poster and t-shirt designs. If anyone has recommendations for online print stores to sell from, feel free to chime in. I have some ideas, but am all for hearing others' opinions.
Final thought: Friday is session 0 for my Dnd group's summer campaign. Expect a post either late Friday or early Saturday showing off my character. See you then!
