@Fedodika I played around painting in a more graphic style like when I made this

but now I'm trying to get a look that's closer to something like this

The messy painterly background with really clear cut characters looks really appealing to me for some reason. So that's why I'm painting the way I am now and i really like it :D With that ibuki 3D sculpt and all others I've made I'm still not sure how exactly to get the look I want, it's a little to technical for my tiny brain. The clouds were kind of a last minute addition and I struggled a lot trying to get them to look the way I want.
@JosephCow I'm really thinking about the overall shape of everything and tying to keep everything appealing and simple but it's just hard :D I've been looking at a lot of Min Yum's work and a guy on pixiv that goes by the name Niy for a very long time because I think they pull of the look I'm going for best but damn I just can't get it to all fit together. And yea the waterhouse study is a mess. I made it in one sitting just because I couldn't think of what to paint that day and I just wanted to get it over with.
Here's some new stuff. 2 versions of the bus image

I like the second one more but it has a very different feeling to it so I dunno. I haven't posted this anywhere yet so I might still try out some things.

I wanted to make an image with Ibuki so here are some sketches I made. Originally it was going to be for a challenge where you have to draw all fighting game characters that you play so my early sketches had a lot going on but non of them worked out. The one in the middle is how I sketch everything out these days, just a bunch of messy shapes that only make sense to me because I have the image in my head and then clean up. One on the right I really like for a couple of reasons and I might push it further in the future. Left one is what I'm going with it's really simple and really inspired by an image by Niy.

this is what it looks like right now. I'm treating it a bit like a study for the background and I'm trying to get a really colorful look but with desaturated colors.
