Urgh, I am over working multiple jobs... Holiday season is making things even more unpredictable, I can't wait until it all settles down.
I've very little opportunity to do projects so I'm back to square one, just trying to find my flow. I seem to do my best work when I'm not thinking too much about it, and then find it more helpful to go back and analyse it.
So far I'm still not keen on purely digital art - it's just so devoid of the texture and sculptural qualities of traditional media. I am beginning to appreciate it in regards to giving my drawings form. I used to only really use dodge and burn, using only whatever tones I added before scanning. Now I'm going ahead and using paint to tone and colour them. The end result looks a lot more solid and less airbrushed. The main thing I think I now need to do is refrain from using so bold a line.
Anywho, this practice turned into an alright xmas gift for a chick I know who's mermaid obsessed.
