I had so much fun making this. In a way, it reminds me of what I like most about summer. Hanging out at a lake, being in the sunshine, reading, etc.
This is the first time I've used part of a premade stock (to my knowledge). It was a big first step. I tend to shy away from them because I've always felt that you should make your own backgrounds. Nonetheless, I've always loved =moonchild-ljilja's stock and wanted to use it. It created the perfect foggy/unfocused background I was looking for. I think it pairs quite nicely with the model in the foreground.
Anyway. Lack of sleep. Bye.
PS: Please check out the galleries of the stock artists I used! They're awesome, generous people who deserve a comment and a fav.
