The Last Supper

Illustration as the theme of The Last Supper. Exploration of a new color palette, textures (hatching) and shading.

    • Biblical, Character, Comics
    • HB pencil, bond paper, ibisPaint X
    • Personal Project
    • Bible, digital painting, Easter, illustration, Jesus, last supper

This artwork is the result of what I developed in a course that proposed the use of a determined color palette. To get new colors I would have to mix the colors already present in it, making overlays and digital blends.

I chose as themes foods from Ancient Times and the Last Supper. The whole process resulted in this illustration!

I had already chosen the Last Supper as my subject, so I started by making some sketches to explore what angle and composition would look most interesting. I chose this sketch that appears below.

So I fleshed out this idea further in a digital sketch.

To complete the composition, I used some objects that I had previously drawn in another exercise.

I enjoyed using hatching and transparency effects to simulate shadows and interesting textures.
