"The rain falls softly, as if the night itself is whispering its secrets to the world.".
I'm working on concept pieces featuring my original character - K ("Kou Yuu"). For this artwork, I want to tell a story about a lone figure walking into a raining alley.
The scene is drawn from a low-angle perspective and there are some key objects for this piece, such as the umbrella, a road sign, the alley and puddles.
I add in details for the character and the reflections from the puddles. I used red to emphasize the character's movement and highlight key details. Blue for the background which creates contrast with red.
I made it simple for the street. Some lights, trees and also a car to make the scene look more realistic. As you can see, the headlights of the car actually pop out the character from the dark.
Last, some final adjustment to the colors made the artwork look more interesting and finished.
This is one of my practice pieces of background view drawing. I tried in darker color tones and focused on how to make the rain more realistic.
