In creating digital art don’t be afraid to use effects from more than one program. For me it takes a combination of several tools like different filters or transformation tools to get the right effect. Don’t be afraid of using some of the stock art filters in conjunction with manual manipulation to create your art.

One way to set tone in your art is to use Colors and textures in Art Photography. Many different programs allow you to modify your digital photography, the key is to apply your knowledge of the color wheel when developing the tone in the image. I wanted to convey a darker mood in this image and thus kept enhancing the earth tones in the image. When I was happy with the feel that the tones gave, I then added just a bit of texture to drive the over all dark feeling.
