"The Aeronaught's Odyssey"

I find my role as an educator is really a reflection of all that I have learned becoming a professional. I feel the best way to teach is to share. So here I am sharing the importance of "Loving the Process" So I created some process and Finished examples for my Anatomy and Rendering and Color with Intent classes. Here, I’ve created an illustration for a mock Book Cover Format utilizing a Limited Color, Complimentary Color Scheme of Blue and Orange. This is based on a character development of a Steam Punk Aeronaut Captain. I recorded the process painting in Oils by starting with a warm monochromatic underpainting. I kept the darks thin and transparent while building the lighter values with impasto textures more opaque. I hope it helps make the finished piece even more appreciated by seeing behind the curtain and sharing that the real magic is passion for process.
