Floating Island #1

A chap enjoying the sunset after a hard day’s work.
I’ve been enjoying trying new techniques recently, here I’ve tried to apply some of them into a single piece.
I’ve uploaded each stage of production, from rough to finished composition. Rough and library was done in Photoshop, then I moved to Procreate to colour.
I say number #1, that’s a lie as I love my floating rocks, but it’s the first I’m uploading here!

Added the sky. I picked existing colours and lowered the saturation, tweaking them slightly until I found a gradient I was happy with.
