Step-by-step digital illustration showing the evolution from a soft grayscale sketch to a detailed final artwork. A pale figure with long white hair emerges from dark cocoon-like textures, surrounded by moths. The process highlights value building, texture layering, and contrast adjustments to convey isolation and emotional tension.
From sketch to final render.
I started with a loose grayscale base.
Then I built values first, keeping the palette desaturated to avoid emotional noise too early.
Textures came next: soft brushes for skin, rough strokes for the cocoon.
