ART EXPLOSION WEEK 45: Theme PARADISE - Paradise Island

in #art6 years ago

Hello Fiends!!

This week in the contest ART EXPLOSION WEEK hosted by @juliakponsford, The theme is PARADISE.

I like this theme a lot because, it is perfect to practice several things in which i have little experience. The background and the colors.

For this contest, i wanted to make an island called "Isla Paradise" ... it's a bit cliche but, there are many places like this where, yes, you feel in paradise.

For me the term Paradise, is the place that guarantees complete happiness, a place where you feel comfortable and enjoy where you are. And we all like the beach, although i am happier when i draw.


My Tools:

  • Mechanical Pencil.
  • HB leads.
  • Color Pencils (PrismaColor.)
  • Fine Marker.
  • Charcoal Pencil.
  • Moldable Eraser.
  • Graphite Powder.
  • Brush.
  • A4 Opaline 300G.

The Process:

  • Make the sketch of the island with HB pencil, once made use a thin marker to make the edges, wanted to try something different and focus on the palm trees.

  • I also remarked other elements, but mainly the palm trees, i wanted to give it a cartoonish effect.


  • The next step was to paint the leaves of the palm trees.

  • I used two shades of green and for the trunk two shades of brown, i was experiencing the mixture of tones.


  • As this is an experiment, shading the leaves a bit with small dots, i want to combine different techniques to be sure of everything in my future work.

  • I made the same steps with the other palm trees.


  • The palm trees are ready, now i am going to illustrate the background, i started with the sand on the beach, painting some elements.

  • To paint the sand i made a mixture between different shades of yellow and brown, painting in a horizontal direction to give texture.


  • Then, i illustrated the rocks in the sea, with the charcoal pencil and the brush i made the texture and volume.

  • To make the sea, i thought first how to make the sky, so i mixed different shades of blue, green as a reflection of the mountains and purple.


  • I illustrated the mountains, making small rivers in them, with the graphite powder i made the shadows and then mixing different greens to paint the mountain.

  • also practice the blur and realism in colors.

Finally i painted the sky, degrading the blue and combined with purple, i gave volume to the clouds combining blue and purple, this is the reflection of water.

This is the Final Art:

I felt in paradise making this drawing, mixing colors and experimenting different techniques has helped me to know how to use each one at certain moments.

I have also become very familiar with the funds and now i am not afraid to add it to my next illustrations.

I want to thank @juliakponsford for the inspiration and everyone for the great support!

I hope you like my draw, thanks.

Until the next time!

good luck on the contest !!!

Thankyou spidey! Glad you like this!

You did a great job drawing this scenery of paradise. I do think about sunny beach and calm seas when I think about the theme. Nice step by step progression as well, I enjoy it! Good job Kenny :D.

It's great that you enjoyed it @scrawly

Nicely done @kennyvaldez! I think many people will imagine a scene similar to your painting while thinking of paradise, nice secluded beach, amidst nature, mountain, trees, clear skies. After all, even if there is an actual paradise after life, it will be nature's creation as well. The painting is so nice, i wish i could book my next holiday there. Any source of inspiration? Or figment of your imagination?

Oye men muy bueno sencillo pero hermoso te felicito
