A digital painting of Aragorn charging into battle.
Black and white drawing layer. This layer will be set to multiply over the layer with the base colours.
The base colours for this painting.
Final painting with the layers combined. It however needs some lighting. A overlay layer will be used to paint the lighting from the right side of the scene.
Finished Result. I did the same on the background however I did not want the background too detailed to take away from the focal point of the piece.
