Day 7 finished - 2h done
Got a new monitor and spent some time calibrating it, should have done more art before, since calibrating took longer than I expected. Colors/values look more dull than on my laptop and its not a contrast issue, the screen is lower quality. Colors look a bit different too and more washed out. Got what I paid for I quess.
When I looked at some photos and master paintings it didnt look so bad though, however some of my paintings looked noticeably different(warmer colors). Im gonna test out painting on it and see how its different tomorrow.
I think Ill use the other monitor mainly for looking at designs and misc programs, but color/value studies are not gonna happen on that.
Study+ wip on skull. I didnt like the composition so I repainted it until I started getting somwhere, the top part looks nice but bottom still needs work.
Punk-A-Cat - Thanks mate.
