Voolf's miscellaneous art

[Voolf]

I like to try new things and every now and then i feel like - at least try - to do some digital art that is not a map.

And so i also thought of creating a thread here to share some of my attempts.

Here comes first one. It is something i want to do for my website, as a homepage background picture. I am not sure if i will stick with it (the wip or even the idea). I probably experiment more and see where that will lead me. For now i am learing how to draw clouds. This is still far from what i want to achive, but the result is somehow satisfactory.... for now

The colours in the sky are perfect in this Voolf and I'd love to know how you built up those clouds because they're gorgeous!

Nice to see some of your other talents, seems like there are quite a few here who's talents far exceed cartography and it shows it their work. Look forward to seeing for in this thread and then to see them influence what you do in cartography. Thanks for sharing, you definitly have some talent.

Thank you all.

GLS, The process is rather simple, but to make them "right" is different story . It is basicly 3 steps.
1. Draw the cloud(s) ouline and fill it with white.
2. Draw light shadow (normal layer with very pale blue)
3. Draw deeper shadow (normal layer with different darker blue)
4. (Optional) smudge the outline and the shadows inside.

I worked on this one more today. It feels like it may be finished. At this point i dont know what else i could throw into it.

I love the way you melded the cloud into its own reflection!
