Beard Clippings
Hey again±

Today I have some studies, some attempts at clean lines and flat colours, and I totally reworked the background for that girl standing in the forest and added some other characters to give it some more implied story. i think this version is more successful in many ways than the last but still not done with it yet!

Would anyone have any advice for making flat colours more attractive (keep in mind for these ones below, the application is a bit rough as I was exploring them one layer rather than making clean groups)? The lines will come with practice and approach, I'm sure, but i'm a bit stumped on how to make flat colours look good. I see some artists make these very nice combinations and the artwork almost feels done just with those colours. If anyone has any knowledge ™ to share I'd appreciate it :)

Also, someone brought up clint clearley in one of their sketchbooks a few weeks ago (can't remember who, but whoever that is, thanks!). I purchased one of his making of MTG videos and man is it nice seeing a tutorial/video that actually explains things and gives meaningufl practical content. Maybe i'm just not lucky, but it seems most of the tutorials or other art videos I watch or purchase are not very good :[

Also started watching Cynthia Sheppard's youtube channel and thats got a nice laid back feel to it too. I think more than anything, with both of these people, it's nice just listening to artists be people and to dispel that image we (or at least i) sometimes make of them as these art virtuosos that never fail or have doubts.

Experimenting with colours and different ways of implying shapes of clothing and things

Sloppy and not very accurate. I could have done this one better I think.

The rework of the image from one of the previous posts, plus a gif below comparing them (excuse the quality of the gif! Not sure how to get those looking nice honestly lol)
