I just added some changes to this painting I did for book insertion. I wanted to create the environment showing the inhabited rock spire in fantasy landscape.
I'm new to digital painting/sketching, and I have a basic Bamboo fun tablet. I struggle to create pieces as detailed as this, and I know that practise is important, but I could really use some tips and pointers like what tools and brush presets do you use? what smudging techniques.
Very powerful image, enhanced by the combination of the solid, forbidding spires in the foreground with the enormous spire, partly obscured by cloud, in the background, looming, a colossal object pointing at the cloud-filled sky.
