This image was painted with Adobe Photoshop using my “Good Brush Set”, which you can download for free with this article. To start things off, I began by drawing a simple sketch on paper with the ideas I had in mind. The most important things were the design of the layout and the basic shapes, being sure to leave some empty space on the paper. Usually, ideas do not always look great in just a single minute; it takes some time (Fig.01).

I continued by scanning the sketch drawn on paper into Photoshop. Starting work on the image digitally, I began by adding a new layer above it and filling it with a dark red colour, and then painted some basic colour tones and contrast with a large brush. I find that it’s much easier to get a unified colour scheme using larger brushes, rather than smaller ones. I then added some light and dark areas, using my “Good Brushes” #1 to #6 (Fig.02).

This illustration is inspired by the short story Call of Cthulhu by Lovecraft. There is plenty of amazing Cthulhu art
around and I’ve always been fascinated by the subject so I decided to do my own version of it. It’s based on the
part of the story that describes how the sailors accidentally manage to free Cthulhu in the nightmare city of R’lyeh.
