We Draw The Letter I, My Entry

Hello Steemians,

This is my entry to the We Draw The Letter Contest of @ran.koree

Illumination

digital art

Steps:

1.) The letter I is pretty much the simplest letter to draw. Having said that I don't want my entry to look simple. At this point I just want to see the shape of the letter so I know where to add a bit of details.

2.) I chose red to fill the shape with color and started adding background color in dark brown. I created a shadow that could be an essential part of the design or maybe I can just remove it. Kind of checking at this stage what would work and what does not look good.

3.) The dark brown shadow is overwhelming and it competes for attention so I toned it down until it doesn't seem to exist. To bring back the attention to the letter, I added a black background to it then started testing what colors would work as highlights, here I used faint blue and pink and yellow

4.) I think I should soften the background a bit more so I added faint splatter of paints in Gray, yellow and black and later on vibrant blue

Hope you like it
Regards,
Krisette
