Description

This piece was drawn as a card for my Grandad's 81st birthday, which was today. I ended up finishing it late during a party(!). I lost track of how much time it took but it was at least 9 or 10 hours.

This was based on two source images and coloured by eye. I used a tablet PC, I drew a sketch layer, which took an hour, coloured underneath it then removed it at about 3 hours in. All colouring was produced using the airbrush tool.

Parts of the moss at the edges are supposed to be slightly out of focus. I'm not sure how well that effect worked. I've never tried drawing out of focus before...

I'm quite pleased with this one, even though I missed my deadline and ended up finishing it in a terrible rush.
