Quick break from the BillFord event this week to share some of my old traditional studies pieces.
@shiningknight117 and I were chatting in the comments of my last post about the lighting/coloring I've been playing with recently. I haven't been drawing digital for all that long so I am still learning the software. Anyways, gradient maps are what I learned this week! And they do remind me an awful lot of the studies I was doing previously.
All of these were done in 2021 - 2022. Right after this, I fell into a horrible art block until around April 2024.
I checked my files/notes and sadly I do not have the references saved for the vast majority of these. All of these except 2 are based on various models / gel photographs. One I shot the reference myself and one was created from my imagination.
Mostly mixed medium of: watercolor, gouache, acrylic, and color pencil -- all, mix of a few or just one.
These two I do have the references for: here and here.
Anywayss~ I miss traditional painting but I am in the planning stages of working on a portrait of David Lynch and prob some other stuff referencing Twin Peaks. So when I get to the point of having some paint on canvas, I'll share pics. <3
