ART EXPLOSION WEEK 45: Theme PARADISE - Paradise Island

Hello Fiends!!

This week in the contest ART EXPLOSION WEEK hosted by @juliakponsford, The theme is PARADISE.

I like this theme a lot because, it is perfect to practice several things in which i have little experience. The background and the colors.

PARADISE ISLAND

For this contest, i wanted to make an island called "Isla Paradise" ... it's a bit cliche but, there are many places like this where, yes, you feel in paradise.

For me the term Paradise, is the place that guarantees complete happiness, a place where you feel comfortable and enjoy where you are. And we all like the beach, although i am happier when i draw.

My Tools:

• Mechanical Pencil.
• HB leads.
• Color Pencils (PrismaColor.)
• Fine Marker.
• Charcoal Pencil.
• Moldable Eraser.
• Graphite Powder.
• Brush.
• A4 Opaline 300G.

---

The Process:

• Make the sketch of the island with HB pencil, once made use a thin marker to make the edges, wanted to try something different and focus on the palm trees.

• I also remarked other elements, but mainly the palm trees, i wanted to give it a cartoonish effect.

---

• The next step was to paint the leaves of the palm trees.

• I used two shades of green and for the trunk two shades of brown, i was experiencing the mixture of tones.

---

• As this is an experiment, shading the leaves a bit with small dots, i want to combine different techniques to be sure of everything in my future work.

• I made the same steps with the other palm trees.

---

• The palm trees are ready, now i am going to illustrate the background, i started with the sand on the beach, painting some elements.

• To paint the sand i made a mixture between different shades of yellow and brown, painting in a horizontal direction to give texture.

---

• Then, i illustrated the rocks in the sea, with the charcoal pencil and the brush i made the texture and volume.

• To make the sea, i thought first how to make the sky, so i mixed different shades of blue, green as a reflection of the mountains and purple.

---

• I illustrated the mountains, making small rivers in them, with the graphite powder i made the shadows and then mixing different greens to paint the mountain.

• also practice the blur and realism in colors.

---

Finally i painted the sky, degrading the blue and combined with purple, i gave volume to the clouds combining blue and purple, this is the reflection of water.

This is the Final Art:

I felt in paradise making this drawing, mixing colors and experimenting different techniques has helped me to know how to use each one at certain moments.

I have also become very familiar with the funds and now i am not afraid to add it to my next illustrations.

I want to thank @juliakponsford for the inspiration and everyone for the great support!

I hope you like my draw, thanks.

Until the next time!
