Ogres aren’t the only ones with layers

13/10/2023

Have you noticed the similarity between creating 2D graphics and painting or drawing? Both in modern computer programs for creating graphics and in manual creation, we maintain a certain division into layers. It is much easier, already at the learning stage, to develop this layered, onion-like way of looking at the work we want to create. The general-to-detail approach saves us time required for corrections and inadvertently painting over certain elements because we created them in the wrong order. Practice has taught me that when designing computer graphics (2D), planning an image in acrylic, oil, pencil or charcoal drawing, at least a slight, if not complete, outline of the background is created at the very beginning. Sketching the elements that will require more detail is the next step. Can you guess what we’re creating now?
