Tonal Work

  I got to work on adding more tone and texture to the trees using the grey scale technique. It helped me to focus on the light and tone extremely well, I think I will be applying the technique to my own work in future. I used a small brush from the basic bin, that had freckly sides, and with a low opacity, working in the light, and then going over it with dark in line with the pencil lines.

Here is the textured, highlighted image. This took quite some time, and I'm really pleased with it.

Here it is with a blue and green colour  layer, Bry was really pleased with the trees, and I was also pleased as I'd spent so much time on them.

Here is the scene with the character added, I do think that she would need to be a little darker to fit in with the lighting of this scene.

This is that scene revisited, with a tree added in the gap that Bry wanted me to try, with a darker background and a darker floor, these were things she asked me to visit.

However, I think we are taking a step back, and I'm going to put this image into separate layers if it kills me!
