Morning Canyon Discovery – An Illustration

We look up from the rocks on the ground and see a view from the bottom of a deep canyon. A hiker at the bottom of the canyon gazes up to the trees that grow along the canyon top, casting dramatic morning shadows along one canyon wall.

Here is “Morning Canyon Discovery,” an illustration I did in Clip Studio Paint.

Originally, I drew this for a comics anthology. But the organizers said this wasn’t “comic-y” enough. I didn’t have the turnaround time to change it, so I just dropped out. At least now I can show you this.

I’m REALLY pleased with how this came together, too! I really wanted to play with dramatic angles and lighting in this one.

What do you think? Let me know in the comments.

That’s all for now. Thank you for tuning in!

You. Are. Awesome.

P.S. Here’s the sketch I did before doing the final piece.
