💤 Champion of Dreams 💤

Yeah there aren’t really any good emojis for “dreams” but I’m committing to the format lol

(Process below the break!)

This was another one that I did pretty quickly! I used another statue as a reference for this one and I think I’m gonna keep doing that. It’s a fun exercise in drawing from a reference and understanding how light interacts with shapes. Here’s the statue that I used:

This angle was rather difficult for me to draw, so while my resulting sketch looked fine, it wasn’t quite right yet. This was the sketch:

To find out what was wrong, I took that picture and the reference and I put them on top of each other in Ibis Paint. From there, I sketched the vague proportions of the statue, compared it to my drawing, and knew where I went wrong.

Truthfully, I still don’t think I got the angle quite right in the final piece, but I fixed my problems with the proportions so I’m happy with that.

I think the angle would have been better executed had I started the hairline a little higher

But yeah! I did a different shading technique this time for funsies. Drawing Apo’s gorgeous design was such a treat!

I’ve already got ideas cooking from Pearl’s episode today, so more art is soon on the horizon!

Day 8: Glow for @montereybayaquarium's Deep Sea December

Abyssal Comb Jellies (Beroe abyssicola)

Acrylic ink, UV reactive fake blood, silver gel pen

Unlike in my painting, the bioluminescence that abyssal comb jellies exhibit doesn't rely on UV light, likely because most UV light won't reach the twilight and midnight zones that these comb jellies inhabit. Their photoprotein, berovin, reaches it's active state based on just the presence of calcium ions [1].
