Crowning with Thorns

Create a preliminary sketch, focusing on the placement and proportions of the figures and architectural elements.

Block in the main shapes and colors of the background, including the architecture and the figures in the background.

Begin layering the colors of the figures' robes, starting with the darker tones and gradually adding highlights.

Pay close attention to the folds and shadows in the drapery to create a sense of depth and volume.

Carefully render the faces and hands of the figures, paying attention to the details of their expressions.

Add the details of the crown of thorns and the sticks, using thin, precise brushstrokes.

Refine the details of the architectural elements, such as the columns and arches.

Add final highlights and shadows to create a sense of depth and realism.
