⚠️ fair warning i am NOT consistent with how i render, shade, or color. i love to experiment, most of the things i say dont apply to every style I've done with my works as they all vary in their own unique way.

my style heavily leans on semi-realism. overall i just recommend looking at other artists for inspiration to develop and find techniques that suit you. i reference a lot of claude monet, 90's art, and a bunch of random amazing artists on pinterest. i also recommend watching peoples speed paints

i use gray scale for illustrations that focus on values but most of the time i color with whatever looks right aka i free ball.

things/techniques i use frequently in my art:

1) i love warm toned colors. i love how they look and everything

2) i am very reference based heavy.

3) illusion of detail instead of focusing on every small shape

4) whatever this is and a random video of me lazily rendering an old russonelli sketch because i dont know how to explain things further: ⬇️
