Lyraina's sketchbook

[Lyraina]

aks9: sorry for the late reply! Yes those late environments were done with Shaddy Safadi's technique, you can read up on it on his blog and he also has a nice explanation on his YT channel.

Samszym: Didn't know about guillame Ospital yet, thanks for the tip! There's probably a lot of Brosa influence because he's one of the only artists I watch working in a similar style/genre that I tried to approach :D

Kaffer: Thanks! I always have to be careful not to overdo saturation though :P My approach differs from image to image, but I definitely have to be careful with the lines. Thanks.

meat: True, it just feels like a cheap trick of achieving 'atmosphere'. And thus makes me feel unable to paint a really clear day, which still shows depth. But I guess it is all about finding the right balance.

Jaik: A very lucky girl indeed!! :D Let's see how much of my vacation will seep into my (environment) work from now on, haha.

Sorry for posting without any art to show. Hopefully that will change soon. Here's some photo so that you didn't come here completely in vain :P
