Hi everybody!
I am having a reoccurring issue with my paintings.
I always try to start with a black and white base, then add color, to get to work separated with value and hue, because I don’t have the skills to work it out together.
And often the process pass to all the steps of the figures ( starts left to right).
My biggest problem is that in the middle of it all, I lose a lot of time doing overpainting in something that I do not like, such as the soldier's sleeve.
And after a few hours, I just managed to fix it in a way that pleases me, (that’s the last picture of the right).
The biggest problem is, the right figure for me, serves well as a start .... But it takes me hours painting and overpainting and then get a good "start" and only then start properly the illustration .
Does anyone have the same difficulty and could racionaly think of any strategy to do differently?
Thank you all!
