The Marsh Road – Digital Art

Dec 30, 2021 | A Song of Giants, Digital Art | 0 comments

Guys, I’m really digging this Procreate thing. It is making it so easy for a hobby artist with minimal skill create gorgeous art, including this scene set on the Marsh Road! It’s long been a dream of mine to be able to draw my characters and scenes, but I haven’t had the ambition to really learn the fundamentals of drawing. (I have way too many hobbies already, lol.)

But now that certain tools and apps are available – along with plenty of resources online – my dream is becoming a reality. And I am so into it! Check out my first full illustration – environment and all! The Marsh Road!

This image is inspired by the opening scene in part two of A Song of Giants, which still needs a book page… oops. I’ll get there, I promise! But Waking Up the Giants was part one, and this is from part two, City of Lies.

And I just love the text in the background! I had the idea to incorporate text since this is exclusively for my books and writing, but I had no idea at the time just how perfect it would be. And yes, I spent hours copying that out by hand! It was worth it.

Check out the time lapse for the drawing below!

She’s pretty sure there’s a metaphor in there somewhere.

I loved Wicked. I never saw the broadway show, but I heard good things and when Part 1 came out, I was all in. I loved it, the music, the story, the everything. Grande and Erivo were just RIDICULOUS so freaking good. I must have listened to that soundtrack a dozen...
