This is a new style for me to try based on some tutorials on YouTube. It’s kind of dark in the corner but there is a cat in the window there. Simple but learned some cool techniques. It seems each artist has their own way of doing things.

This art work is based on a tutorial I watched on Youtube. Of course I’ve made my own modifications to make it my own. It was a working on learning more about lighting, shadows and textures. I enjoy sunsets and I feel that cloudy sunsets have more appeal as it adds more colors, textures. Clouds…
