| The Swamp Fox, Mixed Media The figure was drawn and inked by Jonathan, then colored by myself in Photoshop. The background elements such as rocks, trees, structures, and land, are done in pastel by Lola. Remaining background elements such as the sky, water, and lighting effects are created digitally by myself. The result of mixed media lends to an animated feel, which was the building block of Whimsical Entertainment. |
