Illustration of Celegorm and Huan, from the Silmarillion by J.R.R. Tolkien.
I just started working on this piece, when an Anon here on Tumblr, asked if I could do a tutorial on how I create my ‘crispy’ illustrations. So, I’ve decided to record the process, and create a timelapse video of it, that hopefully will give some insight into the process behind these paintings.
