The Pitter Patter of Silence

The Pitter Patter of Silence

In the vastness of all that is quite.
I feel the contradiction to the loudness and violence.
In the understanding of everything soft and still.
I am reminded the pitter patter of silence is real.

So it's been a long time since I posted anything that was not poetry, well I plan to start doing that again. I've been drawing more as of late and tonight I drew something that I consider to be half decent.

I started with a base sketch

Did the line art which was simple enough due to Gwens costume design

Did my Base colors then selected the whole thing and added a back ground color to keep the colors clean and give the lines a tint to them.

And of course this took the longest part. To summarize I copied the line art and dimmed it. I added a gradient over the first line art to give it that effect. Added the minor details and played with the hue before finishing. 

I mostly followed one of Chamba's tutorials but obviously I took my own liberties too. It's all in an effort to get better.
