Welcome dear friends! So not being able to go out to do anything fun for a while. I decided to post a step-by-step not really illustration in drawing a fireplace which is a challenge for Monajam's Create a Clipart Challenge which you could find here.

Now, I'm not any expert when it comes to art (especially in digital art), so any suggestions and tips or constructive criticism would be great since I aim to improve my skills in this aspect.

Step by step drawing

Sketching out the fireplace

Coloring out the main shade of the background

I usually see japanese animators do this, and tried to copy it. Lol.

Darkening the initial sketch

Layering colors

so far so good... i think. Lol.

In this part I'm just trying in different colors that I think would suit the drawing best

Final Product

And that's about it. Thank you for reading this far! I hope you enjoyed reading and seeing my unperfect drawing.
