Its a rather blurry picture as it was taken late at night with no flash, but I'll try to get some better pictures at a later date. In the meantime, have two large pieces I've been spending my time on lately:
Day of the Dead-inspired skullface girl, and my first time using markers in quite some time. I'm out of practice, really. The blending on the blue background sucks, and dat skin :/ Evidently I forgot that the majority of my skintone markers are dead or dying. Looks like I'll be dropping some cash on new ones when I get my next paycheck.
Inks to a character illustration of The Narrator from Brit's and my comic project. I realized I've done little to no art of the characters outside design sketches and drawing them in the comic itself so I'm trying to fix that. I'm still trying to decide whether to do ink wash or watercolors on it. Ideas? Opinions? Derp?
And in closing, a picture from my phone of my progress on my portrait for my oil painting class. Its referenced off a photo from an issue of cosmo, ha
Ahh, oil paints! Was it particularly difficult to work with them? I've always been curious but they're kind of intimidating to me ;_;
ReplyDeleteNot particularly, they just require a much different approach than acrylics. With oils its easiest to work from dark to light (and do underpainting) and they have a much longer working time so you can achieve much smoother effects and blending. They require more patience too, but at least for me they're more enjoyable due to that. I feel like I can get a much better sense of realism from them than I can with acrylics. They take some practice and tend to be kinda pricy, but I love them. There's no better way to learn than just diving right in! XD
ReplyDeleteI definitely preferred oil paints to acrylics.
ReplyDeleteLove the portrait
Im really wanting my own little room to do crafts and sew myself. I spend 24/7 with my boyfriend living with him etc and I would really like some space of my own
