Bug Illustration 2025

This artwork was created using a technique where I create an initial sketch and underneath the sketch I lay in photo textures as a base. Then pick the values from the underlying photo textures to start laying in initial values and colours and build up the image from there losing the initial photo texture underlay altogether. Once I finished painting this creature in Procreate, I loaded it up in photoshop and made some final adjustments to the colours and saturation as final polish to balance everything out.
