I created a digital art piece using Paint Tool SAI (on a virtual machine on my Mac since the program is native to Windows) and an old Wacom Bamboo tablet that I’ve had since middle school. I composed the image after doing several preliminary sketches of the women in the paintings as well as designing the girl in the center and figuring out her pose. I drew everything roughly on paper, and then took a photograph and traced it digitally to get cleaner lines. Then I colored using brush tools and made a lot of color adjustments along the way. The whole process from the sketch of the image to the end took about 9 hours…I had forgotten what a slow process digital art was. It took a long time to get nice lines and then color inside the lines. Although I don’t consider myself to have a consistent art style right now, the work is in my “own” style and – once again —not actively imitating a specific artist or art movement.
