Just dreaming about the island life, living in a hut with a big Tiki outside. Who needs electricity, anyway? Actually, I probably do, or else I will have to start drawing with paper and pencil instead of digitally.
A while back, I started an Islands series, and then I have not done anything more with it since then. Until now. I do think about islands often, but I have not taken the time to draw any islands lately, until I drew this one.
Palm trees take over a small island under a lightly-clouded sky.
This is the third and final illustration in the Islands series. See the first one here and the second one here. Although this one does not necessarily look like the previous ones, it was definitely inspired by them. I have drawn a few islands and beach huts before, and I decided to draw this one based on the brown tones of the second beach hut illustration, which came from the first beach hut illustration.
An island beach hut, seen previously in full color, is presented here in brown tones, with a little bit of blue water.
In the previous post, I had mentioned that after I completed that illustration, I decided to change it up a bit. What you see here is that result. Same illustration, but with different colors and a few other slight changes. One of the nice things about digital artwork is the ability to easily make changes such as this.
A hut sits on the beach of a remote island in this illustration of a place I would like to be.
This post and this piece of art are the first in a series of three posts. The second one is here, and the third one is here. Once I had completed this one, I decided to create an alternate version of it, and that led to another different but related illustration, so they are all tied together.
