I will try to upload some of my timelapses here in the future, I have been doing so on twt, but I think you guys might be interested in that too?

Anyway here the timelapse for my last painting; realism to me is primarily about patience, since you don't have to think about stylizing a reference or any other sort of shape design. I try to build a good foundation to paint, and then chip away at the rest. One of the things I say most often is that it's beneficial to build a good foundation and not rush ahead, no matter what you are working on. Having a stage of the painting that looks good to revert to whenever, in case of a mess up. Especially since any mistake that is made early on, will cost time to fix later, so in all of my processes it's important to me that I am happy with each stage. I used a basic hard edge brush with opacity, and some default airbrush. To me most of the challenge in art comes from the stylizing and different techniques bit, so on a personal level, realism is one of the easier exercises for me to do. Observation in general is what I regard as the most important skill in art. If you can understand/dissect what you are looking at, you can replicate anything, once you have built the necessary motor skills through practise. A way to practise observation in itself is trying to be aware of your suiroundings IRL, trying to take mental note of how the light catches on certain surfaces, what happens to the colours in your surroundings, etc. Or looking at other's art and trying to think through their process. Anyway that's enough yapping from me for now lmao, I'll just post thoughts on other processes in the future too, especially the ones where I have to make more deliberate artistic choices Have a good day o7
