lurch : Yeah, I'm still figuring out Krita's features. Getting comfortable with the tool. I may go back to thumbnail, or change her pose, but not the original scene. I dunno, we'll see. You should totally join the chow! It'll be great fun. 
Thanks about the comment about the figure drawings-- I know they're pretty crude, but I'm proud that I managed at least that much.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Eeehhh.. I'm getting kind of discouraged. I feel like I've come so far, and spent so many years on art, but I've only scratched the surface. I dunno, just been one of those weeks.
So, I decided to go back into my comfort zone a bit and do a colour study from Linda Bergkvist, since my brain's been on my inspiration a bit. Although my 'comfort zone' is kinda mindless copying, I'm also taking note of the colours and the tone of the piece.
At first I thought it was a very green piece, but actually, brown is what's going on here. Lots of different tones of brown, and just a tiny bit of green, and a tiny bit of orange. Really interesting.
It's not finished, of course. It'd take me a long time to refine all of those details, and fix the proportions, but that wasn't the point. The point was to understand and figure out the colour palette. Was a fun little exercise to make me feel a bit better about myself.
I think I'll do more colour studies just 'cause I've mostly been working with greyscale values... And maybe it's time to start thinking in colour. I dunno. I think it may aid in my Rusalka piece.
