Midnight Mouse Tales — Designing Night Scenes with Focused Light

In this tutorial, I paint Midnight Mouse Tales from start to finish, developing a nighttime illustration centered around a small, intimate interior space.

I focus on decisions around limited light sources, value control in dark scenes, and how warm and cool relationships guide mood, depth, and storytelling at night.

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