Step 1: I started by a sketch. Then I added color ground. Here as you see on the final image there are lots of green grass and it reminds you the one of the old song “Green Green Grass Of Home” Here just try to imagine yourself in a scene like this. Here there is an old oak tree near the little house that you used to play on when you was a child maybe? Once I’d defined the shape scene I spent some time on the colors things like the main colors and background color. Here is a try to get a clear vision of the image in mind. I began this image with a plain background in Photoshop onto which I splashed on some colors. I don’t like working on plain-looking backgrounds. Adding a some varying color keeps me interested in an image and also helps me to achieve the desired mood with a bit more ease.
Step 2: Using little brush size to add details. For this illustrations I use only available brushes on Photoshop. You can “load” new brushes if you want. Here are my brushes for this illustration. For my painting I am going to use only standard brushes. Before you begin painting, you’ll need to set your brush settings.
Step 3: The second step is here you to choose the main colors for you scene. And here are my colors for this illustration. As always I want to do something really colorful painting. I decided for background some yellow colors and a little blues . Other colors are for the environment. Open an another file and save your colors. And always keep open that new file when you are painting.
