Frog Circus WIP Thread

[StudioLooong]

It's still only about half way done but here's my progress on the frog circus:

@StudioLooong I think you can intensify the color a little bit on the background foliage. It has the same value as the sky and it wouldn't unless very very far away. It looks great otherwise. A two page spread is perfect and reads really well.

I'm thinking this is almost done, I am going to take a break and come back to it tomorrow with fresh eyes for a final pass. I've mocked in some text but the trees behind it are rendered so I can turn it off If I want to present it without.

Finally calling this one finished!

@StudioLooong looks great!

@StudioLooong YOu did an amazing job WOW, you are insane at rendering!!!!! Soooo good!!!!!

[StudioLooong]

@lmrush thanks that pencil sketch I do takes care of about 75% of the work for me, once it's in photoshop it's basically like doing a very complicated coloring book page.

[lmrush]

@StudioLooong Well it is awesome, do you mind me asking what brushes you use in photoshop?

[StudioLooong]

@lmrush I use a hard brush to block in the colors (kind of like flatting a comic book page) and then I use the dry media brushes from the Kyle's Ultimate Brushset - my go-to's are "shady graphite" "pastel palooza" and "chunky charcoal"

@StudioLooong thanks so much!
