Steem Cartoon : Half Moon Island (Virtual Drawing)
This island is located in the Antartic at the North of Burgas Peninsula. It is a small piece of land that measure not more than 500 acres and it can only be accessed through air transportation, in particular the helicopter. There is no airport at all in this island. The naval base here belongs to Argentina but is only open during the summer.

I bring you to a virtual tour again. This time to an island far in the Antartic to an island called Half Moon Island. This place is the home to many rare species of penguines. The interesting part of this island is the shape which is similar to half moon. What is unique to me is the odd shape of the stone formation and this has a slight artistic edge for a good artwork.
The first step is always the rough sketch. I do it to merely capture the form especially on the unique rock formation.
We start with flat colour. Every form in this drawing I try to get a brush stroke to ensure that I have a form that is simple and sketchy.
All the form of the object is created through texture and this can be done by the texture brush. For this process I will use a flat angle brush to get a good opaque colour spread that is even.
This is the result of the spread by the brush on the rocks.
For this process that I will detail on the background, the horizon lizen and the foreground. The background I will reduce the tone of the mountains to get the depth for the distant object. This is the part where I will ensure the details are kept clean especially on the texture of the rocks, shadow and lighting.
This is the last step where I add the attraction which are the penguins. Who doesn't love them. This is so that they would liven up the entire artwork.
The impact from using the flat angle brush is very good, especially on strong and solid surface like the rocks and glaciers. For the me texture from the dry spread will save a lot of my time when I create the texture. Till we meet again on the virtual tour of the water plains in steemitworldmap.

You should compile all your posts and publish a book!
Thanks mate.. that is a good idea ..it can be brought forward :)
YES! Put that in your bucket list! Btw, Back to your post up there. The 'pull' of the image is so powerful you can really feel like it's pulling you inward to see towards the center of it. I bent forward like my face nearly touch my computer screen.
actually that is a hard part to me to push up the perspective to the limits. I'm trying to do some fish eye perspective but fail.it seems i need to spend my money to buy oculus vr haha.Thanks bro I'm happy you like it. :)
Screw the fish eye, this work is FUCKING AWESOME!!! Hahaha!
hahaha...🤩
The perspective is truly breathtaking, senpai! :-0
Thanks a lot afique.im Trying to do some adjustment on perspective. Glad you like it.
