Other things to consider

You don’t always have to draw the harsh light line if you just want a soft scene. You can just use the ‘bounce'as the light source.

You can also transform the harsh light line layer to any layer mode options your art program allows.

Feel free to experiment. Also, it takes time and experience to learn the quantities of line thickness, opacity you want of your light layers. So if you find yourself getting frustrated that your work looks nothing like mine don’t worry you’ll get there :)

Just doodling a Fennec to try out Tablet Pro, a neat program that lets you have a pallet of buttons along the side of your screen while drawing. Did this on an old Samsung Series 7.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EwMF_1dnmxQ&feature=youtu.be

Dealing with Artistic Burnout

Artistic burnout is a problem many artists experience at some point in their career. If you’ve never experienced it, then consider yourself lucky. But if you have, I wanted to talk a little bit about it as someone who has been there.

Let’s be honest, art is a pretty awesome career. We’re extremely fortunate to get paid to do something we really love. It’s a wonderful thing to be able to turn a hobby into a career, and something I am truly grateful for. But like any career, sometimes it’s stressful and difficult, and it requires a lot of effort. It can be frustrating when that thing you used to do for fun in your free time becomes the thing that is causing you stress. It’s the one unfortunate side effect of turning your hobby into your job. Sometimes you’re just not going to enjoy it.
