Sula's Sketchbook

[Ursula Dorada]

@Veneq: AH THANK YOU! Hopefully i've finally struck gold with this :D


Here is a quick sketch to see if I can hold the painterly quality without ref

[KurtJeremy]

I .love.your.style.
srsly , how do you go about drawing from imagination?

[Ursula Dorada]

@Foxfire: <3 Thank you! That is the million dollar question I guess. I think doing enough studies to memorize this? I should have used reference lol

Here is a quick sketch on toned paper.
My mind wouldn't focus on work stuff, so I took a break.

[astute-fool]

I love your portraits and the style of painting you use for them, can't wait to see more : )

[Ursula Dorada]

@Astute: thank you bro :D

Weird moment where you ponder what would you be at if you haven't left anime behind.
Dang, I'm missing so much by not producing any personal piece... ugh

That portrait

@Gliger: <3

Here, to make it looks less I'm a slacker, another study.
Practicing finishing pass/polish is a bitch. This is probably the longest I have lingered on a single subject, and it turned out to be way more complex than I ever had hoped for.
I am finally seeing those freaking edges.
Now I need a new portfolio, and time to actually finish something and not "Just enough to see if it holds"

WOW I hope one day I can get to this level, Awesome work!

[Fedodika]

[Lyraina]

Congrats on successfully pushing through all that trouble with edges!

Lovely elf, as always. Those subtle patterns on the shoulder pad are really cool… and those eeeaars, aww <3

[Ursula Dorada]

@Chrisfernz: <3 thank you! Just keep at it, no secret!
@Fedodika: yessss omg thank you! I feel that way too - but you know, we always think it's our brain tricking us.
@Lyraina: YAY! :D <3 Thank you
