I’ve come to know your art a month ago or so and I already love your work to bits. It’s so expressive and fluid! I’m really curious about your art process tbh, all the brush strokes seem so chaotic but the final product is so well put together. Share crumbs of knowledge pls (although it’s fair if you want to keep your secrets 😆).
Thank you! Really it was mostly about unlearning restraint. I used to make myself polish and clean and refine but once I stopped doing that and let my process become more chaotic, drawing felt much more free and natural. I also used to use layered painting technique but trained myself in fully opaque lipstick smudging in Sai and now I can't go back as I always tell people.
When you're doing this on a drawing as a whole or on different layers, you can see the whole thing from afar as it comes together and when it feels right is when I stop. It isn't about completion or how polished something is anymore, it's all about vibes. As a result, it doesn't really matter how it looks when it's at 100% like so
When you see it at full scale, it's like... what is that. There's criss-crossing strokes, blending next to nonblending color, a random splotch?? IT DOESN'T MATTER! I have achieved enlightenment.
