So you know how I've been doing watercolors lately and that means I have a lot of waiting time?
Well in between waiting I've been trying to get my hand and eyes used to digital again since it's also been months since I made my last attempt and I was worried this skill declined heavily too ;;-;;
Thank God the sketching part hasn't declined for me but I find it weird that I'm now erasing some parts compared to the me a few months back that moved her hand with finality. Now... I'm a bit hesitant with a lot of my art but that's what happens when you decide to pick up where you left off. You get hesitant and you aren't sure of where your hand and lines go but that's part of relearning. Part of gaining confidence and rebuilding your style again UwU
Duration: 1 hour total
Software: GoPaint
It feels weird because I'm gaining color again. I think it's because of all the therapy I've been doing and my change in outlook but I also attribute it to this guy I've been talking to since he's been really supportive of me and my art and he's been pushing me to get back to it since he knows I've loved it regardless of whether I have th motivation or not.
To start with the piece, I did my sketch of the face and what I wanted to do.
Then I wanted to do a soft glow UwU I actually wanted to do a kind of half render on this one like the ones I did before but I decided to just stick with the semi-sketch.
I worked on red-orange, then regular orange, then yellow orange UwU
Then by the time I added my yellow-orange, I also did do the midnight blue shading to build a good contrast plus I wasn't feeling the black when I used it for the shading. IDK the contrast felt too sharp that it kind of killed the soft glow appeal for me.
Then for the final touches, I used the lightest yellow and a bit of white and an Itty bitty bit of black to fill in all the little details and little highlights I wanted to add then I was done with this XD
And I ended up getting back to my chick and the weeds I had just started yesterday XD Hopefully I can manage to catch up to a lot of things I wanted to then I can ease up on the posting and go back to interacting... a lot. Like a lot, a lot. But So much things keep happening around me so I think this will keep me busy and active for a while ^^
Anyway, it's Monday evening for me! And I hope your Mondays all go well!
Thank you so much for stopping by!
