Imogen's Sketchbook of '22

[miimogenation]

Shirt Study.

I did ditch that brush (mentioned in my last post) in favour of the one I usually use to lay the foundation paintings / especially for skin.  - This worked SO much better for me!!  I was able to get the bulk of it done and then the details; by not colour picking from reference photo..!!

I am really pleased with how it looks and in all honesty I truly can't be bothered to do any more to it..!!  Values aren't great - darks are too dark, lights oddly darker than reference but seem too bright (probably because darks are too dark).

Hair and skin are just place holders for this study of my shirt.



Shirt Study
23rd June 2022.
Apx 4 hours (inc 1-2 hours of trying brushes).
iPad Pro 12.9" - Apple Pencil 2 - Procreate.


Since procreate records I threw a time-laps video of my work in progress onto my Art Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/p/CfJXK0nqXT0/


- I would have uploaded this update / study to CD sooner but system error wouldn't let me.  So I spent a further hour or so trying to manipulate the shirt to fit onto yesterdays self portrait.  Which did require repainting some of the hair.  I also repainted and darkened up some other areas to look less flat.  And truly pleased with myself..  And massively thankful to those who commented here, which really helped.






Selfie Study
22nd & 23rd June 2022.
