Autumn Sketches_2021. #1

Hi friends!

Once again I try to start a drawing project every day.
This is very difficult considering my digital drawing speed. But who said that the difficult is impossible?

So, I found a suitable challenge on Pinterest and picked up a pen...
After I was busy working in the garden all summer and never painted! I wanted to start with some simple plot.
Acorn was the first topic of the day - what could be simpler?)

I started my drawing in Paint Tool SAI 2 (in my usual drawing program) wiht Sketch Brush

Drew somethine like that

Then I usually choose a suitable color palette.
I liked this combination.

To create the background, I paint with a brush Oils Rough

and Watercolor Brush as a blender

For background I used some green tints

For painting I choose a brush with strokes as a realistic marker

Used other contrast colors I drew a branch with acorns, sometime changed blend mode for brush strokes to create a different planes of leaves arrangement.

To create the effect of depth of space and make the picture more romantic, on a new layer I paint imitation of bokeh (with Oils Rough brush and different size options)

Then I change the blending mode for this layer to Shade\Shine and reduce an opacity to 40%
It revived the picture a little.

Then I realized that I didn't like the uniformity of the shades at all.
And I applied color correction to the background layer using Filter - Color Adjust - Hue / Saturation

Yes, that's much better!

It's ready art!

The continuation of the autumn sketches will be tomorrow!

Have a nice and creative day!

Regards.
