finished craig mullins course (I skipped a few of the assignments which I probably shouldn't have, but hey) and moved onto Nathan Fakwes digital landscape drawing course. Tbh this course is something I'm far more interested in but something about his videos puts me to sleep, in a good way.
Anyway here's assignment 8 for CM. I struggled with this one. Perspective, what's that ?
And some drawings of my niece
and the first nathan fawkes tutorial. Didn't realise you were supposed to follow along, so I sort of winged it based on what I could remember and utilising what craig mullins said about not being a slave to the reference i.e. changing things based on what vibe you want to portray. If there's one thing im taking fro this NF course, it is CURVES ADJUSTMENT LAYER IS MAGIC. I recently began using it but just the general s curve and I was of the impression overly relying on it is bad, but. Up until he used the curves tool and colour adjustment, I was thinking his painting wasn't up to his usual standards and then suddenly, it looked amazing. his double s curve thing is posted here, he toned down the opacity to 27%
craig mullins also apparently likes to use huge canvases for rendering. 10000 by 11000 pixels. I was quite surprised as previously my max was 4000 pixels ish, and that would tank my old laptop if i had too many layers
