Egbu : thanks, i hope to be unstoppable someday ! Let the drive grows inside of me !
fedodika : thanks ! though concerning the sorf brush, i find it's actually better to use a hard brush, or something around 80-85 % hardness, and baby stroke, but you know, i'm focused on the blending, and i loose the main volume, because i blended too much, or didn't blend at the right area, etc, sometimes i change the values witout noticing it ..
yarrnick : steal it dude, you're allowed ! Thanks for your advice, will def work on anatomy !
Sorry for the lack of recent updates ! i actuelly tried to work on an illustration, but i miserably failed at it. At least i learned from my mistakes, and know what i'm doing badly ..
- I have a quite decent dynamic overall composition, but when i try to start the rendering process, i just ruin everything by changing the little values .
- i can't handle layers in a good way
- i fail at rendering because i try to render everything, the hood isn't working at all, it looks cartoon, not believable, i should more suggest things instead of painting everything .
- i fail at colors, and especialy skintones ! i think about bounced light !
- i fail at volumes . it doesn't look solid, still cartoonish ..
i fail at creating depth, we don't feel the space in the picture, i didn't let enough space for the background and middle ground to understand what's happening behing the girl ..
when i work with colors, it's like i'm forgetting about values underneath them, i'm focused on getting the right temperature , and when working with overlay layer, i end up sometimes with the good temperature but lost the values ... aah, should be more focused !!!
and 2 other painting studies, i decided to take a break on my selfportraitfor a week, taking a step back might be a good thing !
