the stone bridge and simplified the
backgrounds.

The bridge

Simplified the bridge, which ended up making it
look more bridge like. And thanks to the city for
doing lot of construction, couldn't get a good
reference of the stone tiled bridge I was hoping to get.
Eh, at least it worked out enough.

Background

Although there is a forest in the background,
all the trees have withered away. The water
are tainted, there are no sign of life other than
the two in the foreground.

How will these two characters meet...?

Laying base colors

of each objects. If I could have,
I would've mixed environmental
colors to it today but unfortunately
with the headache I'm going to bed
soon. So much for the mind numbing
searching of files that didn't exist at
work today. (Joking)
The color study will be finished tomorrow!

Time to

call it complete for the value study.
I usually spend 10~20min. on personal illustration
every day, so it's just moving too slow. So before
I get bored or start being too meticulous I need to
move on. (The shadings are already getting to that
point.)

Subtle

highlights are added to help the back lighting
affect and the feeling of textures.
After I push the shades a little more, I will
bw moving on to the next step.
