    Nightmare Dronstad: How to draw?

    There is not every day you want to be a writer. Therefore, I’m writing to let you know that I drew something incredible. Plus, I know you’re expecting a πŸ“ tease. Furthermore, Dronstad contacts me about his nightmare and asks me to do a picture for him. And that’s it. Therefore, I signed up; he gave me the details. It’s about a single chap looking out towards the sky.

    Furthermore, death is looming over the crusted ground. Above the horizon, I filled it with clouds and strikes of lightning, far enough for the man to see and stretch his shadow. Besides, on the left side, you will find an old house with junk lying near it. Then, I started on May 5th and finished on June 6th. Finally, if you are interested in reading it, please visit The Nightmare on his blog. Next, I speak about art creation.

    Dronstad Nightmare: Behind the Scenes

    We exchanged details over Twitter, and I copied them into Google Keep. During my commute to work, I referenced them as I continued to draw the Horror.

    The storm is too far away for him to feel the moisture of it. You can make the storm a thin line on the horizon. That would be the best depiction of what I wrote in the story. :D You only need to make the clouds look like blisters, like unrefined cotton that blossoms in the far. And blur everything in between the clouds and the land. There you can add dots and lines of the thunderstorm.

    Final Thoughts and Behind the Scene Pictures

    That is pretty much the end of the nightmare. I saw this picture in my head, and I draw it as you will soon see. I illustrated many iterations of it until Dronstad was happy. You might be interested in reading Steam Dreams because Dronstad wrote a story about another art piece I had drawn for him. Also, you can check my story about the making of Steam Dreams.

    Last few days I watch artist Trent Keniuga. I was watching his YouTube video of Secrets of Thumbnail Drawing. From watching this video, the technique that grabbed my attention was how quickly he created the landscapes using a few shades of gray. I believe he used ranges between 20% – 80%. After selecting at least three, you can create a believable landscape. The mystery to me was creating the flow and placing objects in such a way where they can make for a pleasant story. Therefore, today on the train I set forth on this journey. My goal was to create a mystery or something. I went on google image search and tried to find something worthy, but I didn’t see much. Working with what I had already started with and limited time, I created the featured image. During the lunch hour, I opened up Photoshop and Google Snapseed to finish off processing the photos. Please let me know in the comments below if you like my mystery and if you have any tips or tricks to come up with ideas for a scene quickly?

    The next day I’m planning on practicing the environment study further. It will probably be on Simmer: How to Show Flow & Promote Scene Passion?

    I’m curious to know… What a mystery β‰

    I was quickly able to convert my featured image from TIFF to PNG, but I failed to save the Clip Studio image I created. I would like to know how to import a Clip Studio file into Photoshop? When I get home, I’ll post the other picture here, stay tuned!   πŸ˜

    Feel free to post your creations in the comments below. Also, my grammar and English isn’t that good either, if you see something odd, please let me know!? If you like what you see, please like, reblog and follow for more inspiration! Β―Β―(ツ)/Β―
