This is my digital painting illustration of a Viking man, which initially started as a pencil sketch, that I later took into Photoshop and painted over.

This was my intial pencil sketch in my A4 moleskine sketchbook which I really liked. I decided I wanted to paint it!

I took the sketch into Photoshop, and began painting directly on top of the pencil sketch on another layer.

I focused on painting the face initially, and then started painting in some of the fur of his coat. At this stage, I was considering painting a blue bird to his right, sat on a branch, looking directly at the Viking man, but instead, I decided to paint in some floating eagle feathers!

The above image is the finished painting before I painted in the feathers.

And finally the finished digital painting illustration! I painted in each individual feather, and attempted to make them look like they were in motion.

Thank you for viewing,

The floating eagle feathers worked :) I love the tufts on the coat!
