Great Healing Spirit

Description

This piece is another mixed media digital/traditional painting.  
This time, I took a face that I had drawn about 7 years ago for my color theory class (concept of light and darkness) – and I had added the face overtop of many different shaped vector graphics that I had created in Illustrator.  Most of my illustrator vectors are softened by using different layer effects and then adding overlays of other graphics that are organic by nature.

I was inspired by the traditions of the Native American people and their folklore of the “Great Healing Spirit,” whom they would seek for guidance in times of need.  I wanted something mystical and beautiful that was both abstract, but soft and refined.  In the end, I was happy with the results.

Most of my vector work created in Adobe Illustrator is imported into Photoshop for the better layer effects that Photoshop contains.  I COULD render everything that I need in Illustrator, but there just aren’t enough effect elements in the end that satisfy my need to make the my artwork complex.
