TECHNIQUE STUDY

original by @cardo-de-comer

thoughts under the cut

for this one i didn’t allow myself to color pick anything, it’s all eyeballed. some things i noticed were the initial shapes (i started with a thumbnail approach) were hard for me to block in, as if my eye couldn’t focus on what i was seeing. so i scrapped that and ended up just going for it, and once i sort of put together the correllation between muscle and the shape and placement of the color, i started “getting it”. i allowed myself ~1 hour to do as much as i could. about 4/5ths through i realized my brush texture wasn’t super accurate and did switch to an oil brush for more of the wispier detail, but it was late at that point.

overall very enjoyable, and i highly recommend checking them out because allllll their art is this tasty. i’m definitely going to try their style for study again. soon.
