Meet Birchie — Exploring Light and Color Relationships

In this tutorial, I paint Meet Birchie from start to finish in Procreate, developing a character-driven illustration set in a forest environment.

I focus on decisions around light direction, color temperature, and value grouping, and how these choices support mood, scale, and character presence within the scene.

This is a complete, uninterrupted painting process with voice-over, including adjustments and corrections as the image develops.
