"like worlds we've yet to reach"

Another silhouette drawing of Aester and Loure~ I wanted to draw some tree branches covering some of the sky and needed to figure out the angle and composition and I think I did ok~ =w=

Even though I use a lot of purple in my artworks and draw quite a fewww purple skies, I generally tell myself to avoid purple because it's difficult choosing the level of saturation XD It's really easy to oversaturate purple welp =3= A lot of the time with my purple skies I end up having to hue shift some of it to blue because otherwise it'd be too purple XD But oh well~

I think I did a pretty good job with this one and I hope you like it too =w=

"under a blanket of clouds, we're safe"

Silhouette drawing of Aester and Loure from my series 'HUERIUM'~ I drew this around 2 weeks ago =w= (I drew 6 within 24 hours... send help)

I know I say it every single time I draw a sky but I'm a little rusty since I haven't drawn skies in a while XD To be honest, sometimes I draw blank for what kind of sky I should draw since I've drawn so many... I know it's impossible to draw every possible sky but sometimes it feels like I can't think of any other colour schemes and stuff =3= but oh welllll

Ironically this whole ordeal kind of made me want to draw more skies again~ O3O I'm fairly reliant on skies because it's one of the things I know I can draw well, but I've been trying to focus on other things lately like colouring and lighting~ perhaps I shall draw more skies soon =w=

"with smiles on our faces, we journey on"

Final silhouette drawing of Aester and Loure from my series 'HUERIUM'~ OuO Looking back, it's kind of crazy that I drew all of them within 24 hours (with no sleep...) XD Overall I think I did a pretty good job =w=

Drawing these skies kind of made me remember how much I love drawing skies and how fun they are~ but it also reminded me of how difficult it is to try and come up with new skies to draw, whether it be to change the colours or composition... it's difficult thinking of something new :'D When I drew the skies for my artbook 'COSMOS' last year, I remember struggling so much and burning out because I tried to draw so many skies in such a short time frame... =3= So I'm definitely not going to rush that kind of thing in the future but I'm glad I ended up finishing the artbook~

Now that I've posted quite a bit for 'HUERIUM', I'm probably going to start posting for a new series I've been working a lot on lately... O3O It's going to be released as a webtoon next year so I hope you'll look forward to it! I'll be drawing a lot of skies for it XD

"though sometimes I miss home"

And another silhouette drawing of Aester and Loure from my series 'HUERIUM'~ =w= the sky's a little softer and simpler this time~

This is the second to last one of these that I did so I'll be posting the last one tomorrow~ in all honesty I think this one is the weakest out of all of them but oh well XD It's still nice I suppose =3=
