Birthday Festival
お誕生日おめでとう宵宮さん! My entry for Drawfest 3!
I am a bit late but I was finishing the illustration for the whole day. I thought of Yoimiya celebrating her birthday with Ayaka and Lumine for an extra-special birthday festival!
I used textures mainly in the background since I already often use textured brushes in my drawings. I used my own textures for the sky along with Namie's textures. I took my old photos of fireworks, clouds, and the backdrop together with Namie's textures for the background: dust3, water1, mix9
Lastly, I made use of adjustment layers to adjust the values and tones of my drawing. Thank you Namie for the textures and for the lecture!
