Suira: Thank you! Good idea, I'll get a character in there, but first I have to figure out how to go on with those constructs anyway D: Oh right, too dark values! I always forget to not do that, thanks for the reminder. 'Lady' is fine. ;)
meat: Ah well, looks like some more targetet skin studies are in order (again). One day I'll get a grip on it! For the screencap studies, I wanted to study different light schemes, so the first are high key and mid range or something like that. Problem is probably that while the first one was very high key, it still had some darker shadow accents under Alice's skirts, so now it looks washed out. Similar with the tangled shot. So the problem is probably my selection (but I also didn't want to browse movies for longer than I painted..). At least I learnt that, at least in movies, extreme high key without accents is very rare, and hard to find. Also, to get a happy and soft atmosphere like the tangled shot, values could go a *bit* darker than I expected as well. Also, yes, screencap studies are fun! You should try to find the time to do some if you want to work on composition and stuff :)
random/warmup stuff
Also trying to stop hiding my lack of drawing ability behind paint, and also trying to get better with digital lines. With thin lines I feel like I have zero control over anything, but I hope practice will help. Thanks go to Master Nate and Master Rafa for letting me leech knowledge from them.
