![8 hour, 40-minute digital painting of an apartment building on my street at night. From a reference photo I took this summer. Swipe for time-lapse video. Time to call this one done and move on, I think. Learned a lot about Procreate on this; mostly how much I have left to learn.
I left the wordmark off the side of the van, because I used Procreate’s type tool to recreate it, so it felt like cheating (plus it’s set in squished Times New Roman & letter-spaced lower-case Arial — not my thing); you get a brief glimpse of the wordmark in the video. I did draw the hawk logo, though. :)[visit watercolours.ca]
