Cloud Mining
by thisnorthernboy
Sorry for the lack of posts recently, I’ve been pretty busy balancing freelance design work with illustration, so haven’t had a lot of time for the blog.
I’ll try and post a little more regularly throughout the summer.
I drew this cloud mining station (think the dirty underside of Bespin Cloud City) a while ago, and it proved pretty popular on instagram, so I decided to add a little colour.
I wanted to keep the colour palette pretty muted, so just stuck to oranges and some grey tones.
Hope you like it!
Drawn in a Moleskine sketchbook, with Copic SP Multiliners and Copic Ciao markers.

Brilliant. Really like how you carried the orange into the sky as well.
I’m so bad with colour I find it easiest to just limit my palette as much as possible!
Ha, you and me both!
I love it! Ther Cloud mining centre would perfectly fit to my Frija sculpture. Frija is an Asen goddess (warrior / shield maid) and the the wife of Odin. It is said, she knows everything but doesn`t always share her knowledge. She is known for “weaving clouds”…
