From painting greyscale eggs and misshapen mugs to painting a quite complex character. A very natural progression indeed.
I will follow my own advice on it: Paint what you want to paint.
There is no point practicing with still life if your end goal is elsewhere. Sure, they will help with some basic concepts, specially light and shadow, but they are not complex enough.
The result so far is a mess. I’m not happy with quite a few aspects from it, simply because I still don’t have the skills to pull it off.
On the other hand, I am very happy with how things are going, as it is far better than I thought myself capable of.
I’m on the last module of this course (the first of a three part series. beginer, intermetiate, advanced), and I just decided to deviate completely from what will be done.
Well, sort off.
The module’s subject is a tree on a cliff.
It is kind of what I’ll do, but I’ll take a massive liberty on how I’ll approach it. Far more than when I did the Dirty Skull.
So far, what’ve done in about one hour or so (once again I forgot to time when I started), is the sketch and the main colours.
Continuing a course on Krita app, I got to draw a pear.
It took me two sessions, a few days apart.
Not because it was difficult and they were long, but simply because I’m lazy and I often don’t feel like doing anything.
This is the result of following an Udemy curse on Krita.
A bit of a story:
For way too long, I think since WLOP first posted Ghostblade on the now defunct DeviantArt, or possibly earlier, I kinda have an idea of writing an webcomic.
