Nile River Illustration

 I'm working on a new illustration for Winter Promise. It's part of their popular Sea and Sky curriculum. It is for the section on Egyptian boats and travel on the Nile. 

 

I started with a rough sketch and scanned it in. 

 

I started blocking in the color making. 

 

Then I refined the details and deepened the shadows, brightened the highlights and added reflected color. I would show you the whole image but I'm still cleaning it up.
