Sula's Sketchbook

[Madzia]

thanks for shearing links! Never enough information about edges :D Your studies looks great, keep them up!

[Ursula Dorada]

@Johnny: Thanks man!
@Madzia: no problem :)

So yeah, I'll be under cover for a while now. Here is a study of soften edges on stolen time (hope I don't get too late with painting drama 2 stuff ><)

[pearwood]

oooOOOoooh. Pretty, Sula.

[Pictomancer]

Really humbling to go through your sketchbook. So many great works and studies.

I really like the last soft edge study (1002). I like the composition and color scheme.

With regards to edges, should the difference between hard and soft lend to how a composition feels of sorts? Sharp clean edges tend to jump forward while soft ones meld into the background. At least that's how I always thought it worked. (still going through the links posted; slow internet :p)

[Doolio]

ffs Sula, you are becoming Ilya Repin with all that brushy stuff:)

That last one is so... oily:D

[Ursula Dorada]

@Pearwood: starting to feel a bit more comfortable with it <3
@Pictomancer: yay <3 Thank you! Yeah, I am trying to find that out. That is how I have been trying to do it - but it seems there is more to it then that. Have to find out!
@Doolio: haha yay :D Yep, now to do 99 more and it will start to be good hehe <3

Still under, but I can update with this: Private Comission

[meat]

I worship you.

How do you make that oil paint look in digital?

[pearwood]

Ooh. I like the lines and action, especially being able to follow the steps.

[Lyraina]

Love the flow... and the cloth.. and the folds.. and the magic.. of that last piece!

Random question because the hands are so pretty, do you look up/shoot reference for images like that? Especially the hands? Or do you do it from mind by now?

[Ursula Dorada]

@meat: haha thanks! A shitload of custom brushes - and make them very, very big. I feel like I am making progress but need to push much more into this. Try Safadi's brushes - they are awesome.
@Pearwood: :D It's fun, isn't? Been trying to save steps more often. They are nice to put all in one update like this :)
@Lyraina: Thank you so much <3 And uh, I used to shot shots of my hand or my husband's pretty often; Now I sort of have a collection and I wing them. I will shoot if I need precise ones though. But any webcam + desk lamp can help a lot with hand reference.

Here, Another one I can post. I think I should be done with the NDA stuff soon - have a proper update by Monday I guess.

[Ursula Dorada]

Making some really impressive progress. I especially like how you're improving on your environment stuff and experimenting with cool painterly textures. Nice. :)

So, nothing worked today :| lol

[pearwood]

Lovely, Sula. The horns work. :-)

[Ursula Dorada]

@Pearwood: horns <3
