A Background Makes All The Difference


Good evening people.  Well here it is, another progress report and as you can see quite a bit has changed!  Primarily the background has been done.  I've done this by starting in a black shade and gradually adding layers of colour in subtle tone and colour changes.  Its added a more dramatic lighting to the picture and gives a good sense of mood.  I'm now applying more exaggerated lighting and shading to match the light of the background.  Its taking a lot of patience blending in the colours, a technique I'll be demonstrating in a tutorial for beginners soon.  I've added detail to the chest, although his necklace needs to be done.  Currently working on the sword, but after spending a few hours on this already its time to call it a day.

Till next time :)
