Version 1 or version 2, what do you think? ⛩️ I've recently made a few changes to this painting, but now I can't decide which one I like better. I originally painted this illustration in 2020, and it is heavily inspired by Studio Ghibli's "Spirited Away". #animationart #animebackground #ghibliart #fantasyart

Sketch vs. final painting. Lots and lots of cats. And lots and lots of work hours condensed into a few seconds. #ジブリ#イラストレーション #ghibliart #studioghibli #digitalpainting

One thing about perspective drawing I wish someone had told me as a beginner: In reality, things aren't perfectly straight most of the time. Sometimes, there's a bend in the road, and a simple 1-point-perspective grid won't cut it. This can be a stumbling block when you're trying to draw a scene. The solution: Add a second vanishing point (VP), and treat it separately from the first one. In this example, the houses in the foreground follow one VP, and the houses in the background (after the bend) follow another, because their orientation is slightly different. And that's it! Just make sure both VPs share the same horizon line and you're good to go. Hope this helps! Btw, I'm using the perspective tools in Procreate for this kind of stuff. The assisted drawing is super useful and speeds up the process. #arttips #howtodraw #drawingtutorial

An illustration loosely inspired by the game "Stray", which makes it an illu-Stray-tion I guess. 🐈 I painted about 80% of this in poster colour, but then caved and added the finishing touches in Photoshop. I still need a bit more practice. I shared this with my patrons before anyone else got to see it 🦊 patreon.com/djamilaknopf #イラストレーション #イラストレーター #イラストグラム #アート #創作イラスト #オリジナル
