Candle Illustration by Amber Lynn Benton for #ItsAdvent 2016

Candle Illustration by Amber Lynn Benton for #ItsAdvent 2016

#ItsAdvent Day 5

December 5, 2016

I had a fun time with this candle illustration. I duplicated the light pattern around the flame and enlarged it in the background setting the layers to multiply to achieve a more glowing effect. I used the sienna in the background to better illustrate:

'a light shining in the darkness but the darkness does not overcome it'.

It's a good image for these dark advent evenings.

I feel like this illustration came together the easiest of any that I've done so far. That makes sense, right? I've begun to come up with a workflow that is suitable for this style.

Old School Blog Roll
Mar 4, 2018

Did you know that blogging is old enough to be making a ‘come back’?! In this blog post I wax eloquent about the early days of blogging and my old blog. I reminisce about the beauty of the blogroll and how through list in our sidebar everyone we were interested in following was at our fingertips and entirely in our own domain rather than that of some corporations algorithm.
