View from the Sea

View from the Sea was essentially my second effort in creating a digital art piece using a pen tablet. My intent was simply to capture a hazy view of the land while meshed with some low lying clouds from a distant seaside perspective. Simple air brush effects and soft gradients were brought together to realize this final composition.

A Solitary Beach

This time around another illustration – A Solitary Beach is meant to showcase the use of unified gradients within Illustrator. In this design the gradients on the stones as well as the clouds encompass all instances of these objects as they transition in color from either direction. Also, other standard gradients are used to form the beach, sky and water for this illustration.
