Kino and the Colossus

This painting took about 8 hours today, started it in the afternoon and finished at midnight.

Sketched and painted in Painter IX. Sketch layer was separate to the canvas, and each element was on its own layer(Kino, Colossus, background).

Brushes used:
- Thick Wet Oils at 100% Resat & Bleed;
- Simple Water

Simple water works quite well when used on top of the oils on the same layer. The outlines were set at 50% Multiply.

Final pic had saturation upped in Photoshop, and a Soft Light fill of amber at 8%.

Old drawing from 2003


Sorting out my room today, I came across this pen and ink sketch I did 3 1/2 years ago. It's a Malaysian coffee shop from memory. Wonky crazy perspective!
