My project for course: Digital Illustration: Create a Colorful Nature Scene

I opted for manatees as my artwork's subject, as these are some of my favourite animals. They float so peacefully and I believe they have a very moving and funny expression. Additionally, their natural habitat, mangrove forests, really speak to my imagination and have something magical around them.

In my illustration, I wanted to incorporate mangroves both above and below the water and create a fun contrast between two different worlds, mainly by using different types of colours. I absolutely loved following this course and have learnt a lot about the process behind illustrations. Thank you for the lovely lessons @asiaorlando_ !
