So this looks completely different on my monitor w/ HDR enabled but...
I've been drawing/painting again. I usually make a bunch of little mindless scribbles, so I wanted to play around with some overall process ideas. This one started as a quick head sculpt in Nomad that I roughly drew over of screenshot of. I made two other "versions" where I explored line art and cel-shading... but I still suck at that lol. (Not that this is very good either... lots of muddy and incomplete shapes.) I bounce between laying shades all on one layer and using layers to change colors and lighting. I don't think I have any preference for one method over the other. (Honestly, it's whatever makes my head hurt less.)
Definitely gotta dive into anatomy, lighting, and drapery studies this summer! With reference. Pretty sure half of my problem is I'm trying new things but not giving myself any North Stars to follow.
