the final art
I recently made this illustration for a magazine article. The segment I illustrated was a brief story about a donkey in a Christmas pageant that saw the spotlit angel in the balcony. The donkey HEE-HAWED and sat down to the delight of the audience. As I was creating the pink fog in the balcony on a Photoshop layer, I was ever so thankful for digital art. I'm not sure how I would have handled painting the fog with watercolors like I used to do. It took a bit of experimentation to get the effect using the brush tool and low opacity, but the beauty is I could try over and over till I got something I liked. Yay for digital art!

You took the words right out of my mouth. I've thought the same thing many times about the Wacom pen and Photoshop. Yay for digital art!
A big "Yay!" from me, too! I guess white paint and a cotton ball? But it would be scary to do it on an almost finished piece! Too easy to screw up! Love the drawing and I am wondering about the (whole) story behind it!
