alright so finally about done with this commission, and can get back to some more hard stuff lol. So I'm signed up on schoolism again, this time I'm taking Thomas Fluharties oil painting course. I really want to shed these digital crutches and learn to draw "the real way." you know, without transform tools and cntrl Z. It's hard as fuck, especially because I can't transform and that's a big crutch for me is resizing the canvas and shrinking the sketch to fit. Gotta beat it though, and it's tough (and extremely frustrating) so I feel it's worth doing.
So I did this first sketch on paper, photod it then painted it digitally. Obviously it looks much better, then I printed it out, what I had drawn, and tried to draw the very thing I drew myself, to a kinda cut off head and some proportion problems. I guess I need to just do it more, I feel I get a little better everytime, and I can't be bothered to learn some stiff grid method. I wanna be able to just feel the marks intuitively and judge accordingly as I've been doing.
My father really liked the painted one, he said he'd even buy it and thought i didn't do it. So that's good I guess. Digital just feels so fake to me, so many crutches for me at least. I want to learn the real way for a little while, maybe to help me appreciate what I do know.
