midnight tree

So, now you know I like trees. The background on this one has multiple layers of the same blue, the stars created with the eraser in different opacities on different layers.

I've always liked the coloring in vintage illustrations, the blues, oranges, etc. I want to develop a color palette to use in future work. This blue seems to have the quality I'm looking for, or maybe it's the way it covers and changes the black outline.
