Continuation from Project 1

I decided to go with a different perspective, I went for a Nigeria fall instead of the beach. From there I gathered some assets.

I managed to make some changes to the water rising. I also experimented with the ambiance again with the first draft before changing the ocean to Nigeria falls.

Reflection

Digital painting is a captivating experience that offers both unique advantages and some challenges. On the positive side, the digital medium provides an incredible array of tools and endless possibilities. The flexibility to undo mistakes, experiment with various techniques, and explore limitless colors and textures is incredibly liberating. It fosters a sense of fearlessness in creativity, allowing for exploration without the worry of irreversible errors. The accessibility and convenience of digital tools also enable artists to work anywhere, carrying their entire studio within a single device. However, this convenience can sometimes lead to a sense of disconnection from traditional art forms and tactile sensations. Additionally, the reliance on technology introduces a learning curve and potential technical issues that can disrupt the creative flow. Yet, despite these challenges, the allure of digital painting lies in its ability to blend innovation with artistic expression, offering a dynamic and ever-evolving canvas for creators to explore.
