Coast

A gloomy coast. Spent 3 hours total on it...Had a few issues..initially I started out too small..so I blew it up and kept working on it. There was a brush with a canvas texture..which usually isn't so largely noticed until you expand your image..so now t looks like I was working on a canvas...not the biggest fan of that because it took away some of the detail and I think made the photo textures look a bit awkward..and I know 3h isn't much, but it's exhausting to go over your entire image over again..it may be photoshop, but that does not make it any easier..I still have no idea why some people ever considered digital painting 'easier'
...I'm happy with it though. A quick environment.

WIP

I suppose this one is taking longer because the pose of the hands was a pain...and after all that effort, quite a bit is covered up by strings/glowy things. And yes, I had known that from the start...but I figured I HAD to get that pose right. Rugged minimal detail clothes for the priestess of fate. I might not make her eyes glowing.

To Battle

Decided I had to keep up with making action poses...this time in an environment. A city in shambles during a war! I've been playing a lot of Skyrim now since I got the DLC. My next image I already planned out will be more futuristic though.

Warrior Elf

..just...keep...drawing...ah. Well, I can't complain. Also have been playing lots of Skyrim and recently got Reckoning from a friend for my birthday!! ..If anyone thinks I have repetitive or annoying with the 'I should draw more' I highly blame my prof for constantly every class saying how we should never stop drawing. I have nightmares if I don't draw D:< . School is traumatizing me subconsciously apparently by the looks of it. ..

...ANYWAY. This is a 4h character drawing. Golden elf warrior....originally, I had a whole colour scheme made up for the outfit, but then conformed to all one colour. It still worked out.

Space

Did an alien theme. Experimenting... Each took 3h.
Had fun. Nothing special.

The Lake Home

More bridges. Well, ths was just originally me testing out new ways to paint foliage and a lake..it looked boring as hell..then I added a tiny bridge in the background...which made it look like a tiny insert of Manet's painting...so I decided to add another bridge....and then a home so the bridges actually lead to somewhere.
Took 3h in total? My arches...I think are still a little off. Will keep at it and get better!

WIP

No full drawrings today..just been too busy to have a chunk of time to get much done..only a WIP.
OMG. lifesaver. I already forgot the person's name on that youtube video ..such a simple way to make perspective lines really fast! Usually my horizon line was just about the most accurate of anything and everything else as you may have guessed was a little ..off...Saves me so much time now when trying to put things in more epic perspective (seeing as I feel like I need to make more interesting ones).

This is just a random lake..so far adding in some bridges...I may add more architecture and change around the colouring..I hate how boring the colours are right now.

Speedy Environment

This is around 45 minutes max. I discovered starting with a green or brown background gets me stuck and uninspired fast. I left it at 30 mins of working on it...then today went back spent 15 minutes because I thought there was still something there to be saved. I do love my valleys. Either way it was just another practice run at creating something from nothing as fast as possible. Efficiency is fun.  

Another WIP finished

posted a WIP of this a while ago...decided to finally finish it. Nothing special. More experimenting. I know I am not a big fan of just doing black and white..in a painterly way. Not so fun.
Maybe I need to draw more characters..I should get to that. I am supposed to be working on a collab with a friend...but I think that's going to be a slow and almost non-existant process. Not that I don't want to draw. I think I'm breaking my own personal record of posting nearly every day and drawing every day.

A side note...I will be reno-ing this blog a little...code gives me a headache now. It used to be easier for me to understand
