Fire escape

“Fire escape ” by Daarken
Since I only used the first texture for the lower part of the image, I am going to need another part for the top. I took this other texture and pasted it into a new layer and set that one to “overlay” as well.


Now I am just darkening the areas under the ledges and adding in some more texture overlays. One thing to remember about using texture overlays is that it is never the end result, but just the beginning. You will probably want to paint more on top of your texture layers in order to better integrate it into your painting so that it doesn’t look so alien.

Some areas of the texture were getting too distracting, so I knocked them back by painting some of the building base color on top of it.
Reflection
Always be aware of the illustration as a whole. You can have errors here and there, but if you started out with correct basic shapes and a good composition your illustration will still succeed.
