Hello~~ how are you guys? I got to draw again while listening to my podcasts. Thank God for holidays otherwise I couldn't really give myself space like this. So I'm still dealing with my anxiety, that's not going to change anytime soon. So these days, I'm trying to draw more because it's always been very helpful in grounding myself and so today, I worked on infurnal for 2 straight hours because I really had that time to focus.
Duration: 2 hours
Software: Gopaint
So this is where my 2 hours went today and I am fairly happy with how it went. It's a weird style, I know XD but I am trying to polish it because it's mixed media in digital. And usually I only stick to one type of media even in digi but idk, I needed more textures this time. I feel like it pleases my eyes a bit and I remember this griffin I did a few months back which was a bit of a mixed media thing to and I thought I wanted to polish that style because it's quite unique. And I would like to have a more unique style.
As for my progression
I definitely forgot to take a picture of my sketching and my idea building so this was basically when I was already blocking my shape and this was really really rough because I was soooooo indecisive with the pose I wanted to work with.
Then I added a blood moon because I ended up listening to Japanese trap beats and I really like the ink vibes I was building so the drawing took a turn for like an opening to a fight scene. Kind of like the guardianw of who gets stronger during the blood moon. It was kind of shifted to that because of the beats and I stuck to that idea til the end.
Then this is more detailing up ^^ because you know me with building up my values. I did think of trying to make something grayscale then I'd incorporate color but I haven't had the mental capacity to try it yet. But I will definitely try it one of these days.
Then when I finally finished my details, then added the flames by using a crayon brush. And I really like this crayon brush so much when I overlay it on ink wash textured canvasses because it has this weird glow to it that I just enjoy seeing on my canvas.
Anyways, that is me. It's 3pm for me now and I will be running in a bit before I can start on my next drawing. Or maybe I'll work on the next drawing for 30 minutes before I head out? IDK I just enjoy running too, it clears my mind so much in the midst of all this thought processing
