Illustration of The Flaming Mountain from Journey to the West

An update for flaming mountain:
Here I added some colour for the sky

As I go on my tutor came to me and shown me a really easy way to do it without ruining or effect the foreground, mountain or the sky by separate them.So that I don't have to go over it to fix it and it a smarter and faster way to do illustration when working for a client. Also shown me some cool trick of multiply and overlay layer.

With this from now on Photoshop will be a lot easier to me :)

Then I did a experiment on painting: painting kinda make the cloud or smoke get too messy

And my final experiment is ink : the effect on cloud and smoke turn out really good with ink
