This is a very personal illustration in which I wanted to capture a mixture of many concepts that usually cause anxiety or fear in my day to day, among them is the sea, being late or being lost while it gets dark, huge structures, being outside from home when it starts to get cloudyโฆ
During this last year, I have worked a lot on myself and on being able to channel all this anxiety and fear into creating images, being able to take those fears and transform them into inspiration, and sometimes just trying to enjoy the moment and create a good memory. Now I even look for those moments, things that make me react with intense feelings, even though they may seem negative at first, I have learned to turn them into my source of inspiration.
Sketch
At first I had chosen a color palette with very little contrast and with pastel and pleasant colors, but I think that did not capture what I wanted to convey, so I added contrast to add some drama and create the atmosphere I wanted.
Final art
In the end I got carried away using the colors in a fluid way and without putting many barriers on myself, I used very few layers, so it was more like a traditional painting technique than a digital illustration. I think the image has ended up having a dramatic quality and an aura of a biblical image. I really liked the result, I feel represented.
