Art Dumpster

Everything related to me learning to do digital art is here. Tutorials I find and my own work. I use Krita exclusively, but I'm not dirtying up the tag with this shit. 😆

work in progress garden planning. I think there may end up being too much orange. T_T

WIP from imagination sketch. Purpsefully exagerated proportions.  Love how I shade the eye a bit before I even start the other. :) Just going to go by feel until it’s done.

My perpetual fatigue has really bitten me these last two weeks, but I managed to finally do a not finished quick sketch. This is not my best at all. Fairly certain next portrait will be better.

Random male model I lost the reference for.

I’m doubling the width of the canvas to easily view my reference, but this pic is so small I’m drawing with about 2 px and it’s too small to draw details clearly. T_T

I dont want to go to my art lesson and I feel so ungrateful and guilty.

restarting draw everyday for 5 minutes challange. Got swept up in life and fatigue last week, so we try again this week. Reward at the end of the challange is a new book,

Let’s call him ivan. I’m doing the “5 minutes of drawing every day” challenge. Ended up sketching for about 25.

Just in case you forget this exists.

It exists.

With those “when you want to design a character but you don’t know color theory” posts flying around I thought this would be relevant again.

SLAMs THE REBLOG BUTTON

there’s also Coolors website that gives you randomized palettes!

[tf2humbug]

Don’t forget ColourLovers, either! It’s a social media-esque site where you can browse tons of palettes and share your own.

You can browse the most popular ones or search for certain colors, themes, and even specific hex codes!

When you find one you like, you can download a wallpaper swatch of it and also select the specific colors it uses to look at more palettes that use those same ones.

ColourLovers is my go-to for when I’m having trouble coming up with a color scheme! It’s also been around for over a decade, so there’s plenty to browse through.

IM BACK !!!!!!

Found an online tutor I really enjoy and ..... i didn’t take a picture of the face before the lesson, but it was very not good. It looks nothing like the reference, but at least now the drawing looks male as it was meant to. lol
