I started this image for a speed painting contest conducted in our studio.I was happy with the way the image came out for the competition, so later on i spend some more time adding more details to my original quick sketch.I used a lot of images from internet as reference for the various components in the sketch.

Making of Quarantine

I normally start my paintings with a very rough pencil sketch to get an idea about the composition and perspective.

After the outline is done, I filled the image with one single colour to remove the white of the paper. Then I start blocking my colours and values for the various elements in the set.

This is the image I submitted for the speed painting contest.This image was selected as the best entry in that competion.

Later on, I added more details to the image.

I finally played around a little with the image contrast,painted the creature in the background and added some blood spots to get the mood I was looking for.
