Lyraina's sketchbook

[Lyraina]

smrr: Thank youuuu :)

meat: Well, always wanted to go to space! The view must be spectacular.

Jaik: With those quick, small ones my main goal is not wasting too much time on looking for the perfect one to study. So depending on what it is I want to refresh (composition, color harmonies, muted/realistic colors, shape language… or even more specific things like "how do people handle bounce light?") I just go into my inspiration folders and just pick the first bunch that has that qualities I am looking for. Depending on goal of the study I go into old masters folder, or concept art folder, or 'color and light' folder (look up at pinterest) etc. Sometimes I also remember a specific artist whose art has that one thing I am interested in studying (like Nathan Fowkes for vibrant colors, or Brom for strong shape language in figurative work). If I don't have a folder for the thing I want to study, pinterest is a good place to go looking because chances are someone else already made a collection for whatever it is.

yay ambiguous late night emo sketching. now back to work
