two long-term photo studies. I started with the crab one from early 2018 and didnt finished it til this year ( i did not continuous working on it tho). and the crowd one i started in 2019.
In the crab painting i was focusing on applying the layer properties to create the texture. and in the crowd painting i was focusing on clothing and not paying too much attention on details. I used to do some of similar long-term photo studies trying to make it as close to the real photo as i can. By doing that i am forced to utilise software tools and techniques, at the beginning i can learn a lot from doing practices like this. But after these two I realise that i can no longer learn as much as i used to by doing similar studies. It's just about the ratio of invest time and outcome, and since Iam no longer in the uni i dont have that much time.
After these two I will focusing on some other type of studies. But I still recommend anyone who is not familiar to the software and digital tools to at least do one or two of these studies, just aiming to utilise all techniques that can make it looks like your reference picture, in that way you will quickly learn and get used to digital painting tools.
