i love your videos, it would be very helpfull if you mantion what kind of brushes you use, its hard to find a good brush
My first two attempts. Then I left the assignment for a week to do some basic rendering practice (light on simple forms and practicing blending) and did the third version. Last image is my reference. All three attempts took around 4-6 hrs each.
A wonderful day to anyone reading!
I started drawing about 5 months ago and really wanted to learn digital painting, so I got this course during the black friday sale!
I found this exercise really difficult, but I don't know if that is due to my lacking fundamentals of the digital painting process. BUT I found the second half of the process really really fun (as soon as the lights and darks were established and I could build up from there).
But my learning is that my values in desperate need of improvement! So I will be working on that on the side 🙏
Any kind of feedback would be welcome! Have a great day!
Surprisingly, I feel like I have improved since last assignment. I took a bit more time on this one and spent more time honing details. I like how the underpainting shows through :))
I’m still learning to be comfortable with values. Might have overworked this one a bit. I wanted to let the legs fall into shadow but fell into a terrible middle ground that resulted in underbaked feet. Looking forward to more grayscale paintings though. This brown tone process was very fun.
Emphasizing the hips and twisting the forearm is the difficult part for me. I had to cut and free transform.
Second assignement. I really enjoyed the exercise with a more traditional approach. As advised I tried to stylize and get rid of excessive details. I'm not sure about the light values i chose...
