Sula's Sketchbook

[Flo]

Those inks are really pretty, do you do a pencil-sketch first or just rock them out like that? And do you construct those faces or go by visual memory? Big fan of your sketchbook

[Ursula Dorada]

@Sagittarius-A-star: I do need to work more on structure :D and thank you!
@Dennis: You beautiful human being, you. Thank you :hug:
@Flo: Ooh I do make a pencil sketch before. I'm a wussy. I think I sketch pretty much everything I do, I don't work straight in color. I should try that I think.

Here is a couple of random more

[Piotr Jasielski]

Last one looks great. Especially the golden horns. Hair is great too.

This is really inspiring, might start my own sketchbook on here soon, it's satisfying to see progression :)

[Riprap]

Love your stuff! Do you ever livestream?

[Ursula Dorada]

@Riprap: thanks man :) Eh, I used to, feeling kind out of the game lately. Maybe I should try again?

Here is today's... study thing while I try to fight the urge to throw myself out of the window

[RottenPocket]

The Mako study looks amazing Sula, and do try to refrain from window-pavement-express-transportation. You got game even if you're not feeling it.

Happy birthday and stay awesome

Another awesome study Ursula! Thanks for sharing - I'm another one you're inspiring the hell out of!

Happy Birthday too!

[Ursula Dorada]

@RottenPocket: thank you! but it's been hard. Heck. The horse is too high to climb on it again
@smrr: mwhahah :hugs: thank youuuu
@Artloader: thank youuu <3

So here is a failed study.
I can't really decide if I'm going to stick to straight to color or the colorize method. I tried a master study using the tonal>color method, and ugh, sometimes it's so painfully obvious is was colorized and I couldn't shake it off in any way
