did some more portraits today, decided to step away from the normal mid 20ish ladies that I usually draw and instead focus on men and older people in general. Pretty fun and not something I usually do! So I want to keep doing it just so I can get a better visual library of peoples faces and such.
Also did some quick look over of one of Leyendeckers pieces, had a piece side by side as I was painting and it ended up being mostly be just looking over the brushstrokes he made and comparing that to whatever kind of brushstrokes I could get out of procreate. I need to spend some more time looking over his pieces and also use a bigger brush which is something I realised would probably have worked out better if I had just started with that in the first place, but you live and learn!
I did however enjoy just sitting back trying to pick the colours that I thought was the most similar to the pieces I was looking at, however I decided to do a mini challenge by basically not allowing myself to colour pick from the Actual piece, instead I made sure to have it on the side so I could only look at the colours but not pick to then use while I was doing a smaller study.
That was fun! gonna do this more and hopefully next time it might look a lil better than it does now x’D because right now it doesn’t look super great, but hey it’s just the start after all, not everything will look good at the start which is why it’s a start after all.
Will go back to some more drawing now, but I’ve been thinking about uploading some previous sketches that were 100% something that I made while looking at Alphonse Muchas stuff, so that might be fun! it’s also traditionally made, aka no digital stuff happening!
