Week 7

So here we are with week 7, this week was basically where I planned out how the final painting would go. Making small notes, arranging where everything in the background would be, how the creature would hang etc. Going on with that, let’s see the drawing plan owo

Okay, so I know not very many people can read my handwriting, or in this matter see it- So I’ll just be retyping it onto here to make y’alls life easier, mk?

Rock Creature ~Could just glue googly eyes on the rock itself for eyes LOL Now c’mon, it seemed funny to me that way I didn’t have to really design eyes and then I could just take a picture of the rock sitting the way I wanted to draw it- ~Use the human skeletal structure for the arms ~Moss for the cushion between the “bones”, like the ligaments between human bones ~Vines to hold the rock bones together ~Hanging up in a tree like a monkey ~Don’t make it too stiff, smooth movement is key ~Use inspiration from Geodude (Pokemon) and Mr. Potatohead (Toy Story) I n s p i r a t i o n - Not taking the complete idea, just using inspiration y’know? I’m taking the rock arm concept from Geodude, but not making him- I’m taking the feet idea from Mr. Potatohead but not making him. Kinda thing, you can use inspiration from other artist, just don’t steal their complete idea, y’know?

So- you see up on top I had tried to draw a fedora- Tried, I stress tried. I did make another attempt using a thingy from the internet just to get the base down- I’ll make sure to credit them dw, but yes otherwise I’d probably have no idea on how to draw one--

Check out this tutorial at EasyDrawingGuides.com!

Alright, that took me a while to find the right site before I looked at the picture, which had the site. The. Entire. Time. I- But either way here we are :) Of course I’m not going to use the same exact fedora for my painting, but you get the jift. I don’t even know if that’s a word to be honest, but aNyWaYs. Let’s look at how well- I don’t even know if it’s well, but my attempt at making this version of a fedora.

Oh yes, the lines definitely are not straight, but yes- It’s pretty well done ig? For a first attempt y’know- It’ll evolve and become better as next week comes into play owo

Habitat ~Swampy jungle ~Multiple tress, on land and within the swamp itself ~Spanish moss ~Willow tree, tamarack, black spruce, swamp cottonwood These would be the type of trees that grow in swampy areas to make my painting seem a little more legit, y’know. ~Mucky-ish water Yes, mucky-ish is now a word. ~Some algae on the top of the water ~Vines ~Cloudy sky

I made a small layout on how I plan on arranging all of the trees and vines. But, since I really didn’t know what any of these trees look like, I searched up some eligible trees that I can use as reference photos :)

Ah yes, my reference photos c: 1. Black Spruce Tree So, I seriously haven’t seen that many trees in my life man. But yes, this is a black spruce tree. 2. Spanish Moss I thought it was called hanging moss, but the “real” term for it is Spanish moss xd 3. Vines Self explanatory, it’s, a vine. 4. Tamaracks I didn’t really find any decent pictures that aren’t all in the woods, so like. I could possibly add some dead trees to the background to get the swampy feel that I’m looking for?- 5. Swamp Water Mine just won’t be as clean as this one- 6. Willow Tree I honestly really like willow trees. To me they just look really cool, I kinda like how the branches just swoop with their leaves and such. With a tree like this in my painting, I may not need any Spanish moss to be honest. 7. Swamp Cottonwood Again, I never really seen this tree before. Or I have and didn’t really pay attention. I’m not an expert on trees >:( But either way, yeah.

Colors that I’ll need for the painting Okay, so I did write all the colors that I’ll be using. Not necessarily need, but either way- ~Black ~Brown ~Burnt Sienna ~Burnt Umber ~Crimson Red Lake ~Emerald Green ~Gray ~Medium Green ~Phthalocyanine blue ~Ultramarine blue ~Viridian ~Zinc Titanium White

So there we have it :) That’s my very basic yet kinda complicated layout LOL Next week, or rather this week. I’m probably going to start the basic of the background today, not a bad idea to be fair. But yes, I’ll be back later with some more updates :)
