In my opinion, my colors suck

Maybe it's not the colors? But for me, it feels like it.

Any tips? Any suggestions?

I started grayscale so the values do not suck but maybe after coloring I fuck them up 😖

Idk atm 🙄

<- last art from this post

Thank you so much (´༎ຶོρ༎ຶོ`) !

The way I paint is honestly a hodgepodge of methods. I’m in no way a professional painter or visual development artist - I work like this because it’s a nice change of pace from my usual stuff. But here’s a look into my process!

I work in glazes, then I build up to full opacity when I render. This way, whatever subject I’m painting melds with the background color. I prefer my pieces having low contrast and details. I save the most contrast and details for focal points and areas in direct light.

I’m also mindful of what direction my brush strokes are in as a way to sorta replicate traditional painting. It tends to do some heavy lifting in terms of indicating form. ((I love low effort things with big payoffs yippee!!))

It’s really noticeable in my last painting but I add these borders when the subject’s colors contrast too much with the background. By adding that transition border, it makes the subject feel less like a sticker and more incorporated into the background.

When painting portraits, my focal point will usually be the face and eyes. So I prioritize all the rendering and information into that area. Everything else outside that zone is kinda a mess of colors, shapes, and brushstrokes - but it’s ok because it’s not the priority. (Also the above pics are WIPS so if I finished them, it would be a bit more refined…)

Somethings I did in 2022 that kinda exemplifies my points. Although if I did these again, maybe I’d bump down the contrast and make it more focused??

Again, painting is not my main thing!! I just do it for fun and it’s meditative and when you're a storyboard artist, you miss colors…

I always strongly recommend studying contemporary and classical painters who have a stronger, articulated grasp on this matter. I’m just noodling around most of the times.

Lengthy post but hope this helps!!! 💕

She's not sleeping

Actober day 3: Caitlyn

I know Caitlyn’s day has passed (and it was going to be the only day I would draw), but…

I wanted to do something more nostalgic…

Once I had a dream where Caitlyn died, and the simple thought chilled me to the bone, in fact, that time I couldn’t help but cry.

The idea of someone so young, with so many dreams, dying young has always left a hole in my heart.

The thought of imagining her in an alternate world where she no longer exists seems sad to me…

Thanks to @pinsterwglasses i had a very good drawing to build my rendering on (of cause I asked)

Really like the outcome. So a good base can be very very useful. I addition i was quit focus cause i lend a drawing to practice 😅

Took me about 5h while watching stuff, so could be faster if I hadn't watched stuff. But tell that to my adhd brain.
