Concept: Insect Final Painting

Backgrounds and shadows are things that I need to work on in general.
I feel as though I have not utilised the colours fully in order to make the insect stand out among the background.

You can see from my painting stages and even brush strokes that I was very uncomfortable with digital painting although I was not completely new to the concept. I had no idea where to start this painting.

I chose these colours to show what type of environment I think my insect would thrive in. Instead of standing on a leaf or a branch, my insect is standing on a mossy rock, as it is what would camouflage it best.

I think the lighting is relatively okay due to my lack of experience, although it may be because of that that I could have been afraid to do anything more to it, so I need to practice and become more confident. In both the lighting and painting in general.
