New Finished Illustration

Here's an illustration I just finished as a personal project. Fall is hitting and I wanted to do something that reflected that...


Here's a few details...

I modeled the dog after our Border Collie, Scout.

Jago,

I've been working on various working methods for a while now and I think I've finally found what works for me...

The figures and the front row of tree trunks were done in Illustrator without much detail and then imported into Photoshop. Everything else was completed in PS: all the shading, details, highlights. The leaves are simply a brush I created and tweaked so the colors shifted. The aspen details were just a simple pencil brush. I have a custom texture (a shot of a rusty car door) that I place over the whole illustration to unify the look and hold it together.

When I have the opportunity, on my website I want to put together a video of a piece from start to finish.AN d also add a DOWNLOADS section that will include custom textures and brushes.
