Digital birdwatching illustration
The work below was a commission for the American Museum of Natural History. They required a digital illustration of one of their dioramas for an online birdwatching feature on their website. Below is a photograph of the diorama as it appears in the museum.
I worked up the sketch below showing the composition, colours and highlighting where the birds are to be found.
Here is the finished artwork with a couple of details below.
