Sneak-Peek with Steps! ๐ + Some exciting news!! โจ
Added 2020-11-11 20:23:42 +0000 UTCHappy Wednesday everyone! ๐ I hope youโre all enjoying your week so far :)
Here is my newest drawing Iโve been working on! ๐ฅณ plus some bonus steps you can swipe through to see a little bit of the process :) This was so relaxing & fun! I wanted to practice painting blue skin because Iโve always struggled with it in past attempts, but I really like how this one turned out! โบ๏ธ There will be a full process video of this drawing for all Big-Hearted Butterfly patrons and an open PSD file with all my layers for Devoted Dragonfly patrons! ๐โจ stay tuned! :)
An exciting update:
For the past couple weeks weโve been working on something really special that will be opening in just a few days: my first ever online store! ๐ My art will be available to be purchased as prints for the first time on INPRNT! Theyโre an amazing online print store created for artists to sell their work as high quality prints โบ๏ธ I havenโt announced it anywhere else so you guys are the first to know! Iโll be launching it some time this week ๐ Itโs a big step for my art that I never thought Iโd get to do and I canโt wait to share it with you guys! ๐ฅฐ
I hope you all have a lovely Wednesday ๐ itโs a rainy day where I live and perfect for staying cozy indoors, drawing, and playing some animal crossing ๐ชโจ
Love,
Lydia ๐

I see! Compared to your usual, this painting had more hard brush strokes on the face and while it looks amazing, I was wondering if you were aiming for pointing out the planes of the face ๐

2020-11-14 13:23:14 +0000 UTCThanks so much Lara! ๐ And I do to some extent! My thought process toward shading has become instinctual over time actually ๐ but what I focus on the most are the high points & low points of the face, and where light will hit the brightest! Raised areas of the race (like the brow bone, cheek bone, nose, upper eyelid, upper lip) will often be highlighted the brightest and everything else around those areas will be softer shades and darker :)
