The Phoenix and the Water Nymph WIP 2
A few years ago I started work a Graphic Novel which resulted in this project here. More recently I came back to this project and revamped this image here for a client. I’m now revamping the whole project for future release as a Picture Book/ Graphic Novel. This story is a fairy tale about the love between a phoenix spirit and a water nymph told in lyrical verse.
This image is the current work in progress (WIP) for one of the illustrations of the book.
Materials
For most of my artwork I draw with blue lead in a mechanical pencil on Canson Vellum. I then paint them in Corel Painter X with a Wacom Intuos 3.
