And we're back this fine Sexy Tuesday with some art WIPs I've been working on.
((As an aside, Photobucket is being HORRENDOUSLY slow today for some reason, so just... let the pictures load a bit first, ok? Ok. Judicious use of the "Refresh" button may be in order as well - IDK what the hell is going on.))
It all started with this throw-away sketch I did... I honestly want to say in my Watercolor class. Maybe earlier, IDK. I actually have this tiny sketch colored WITH watercolors, but that's not what this post is about.
As an experiment, to test out my Livestreaming capabilities, I decided on a whim to MOUSE-COLOR THIS.
Yes. Mouse-color. The thing I haven't done since high school. LORD WAS IT A MISTAKE.
....well, maybe not a mistake-mistake, but this was as far as I got with mouse coloring. I think that was after about an hour and a half of work? Granted, that was from sketch to flat colors (above) and starting to block out/shade the ice itself.
A few weeks later,after I had regained my sanity and dropped trying to color this with my mouse, I was over at dora's apartment, where he was letting me use his tablet.
COLORING GOES SO MUCH FASTER WITH A TABLET, GOSH.
I also, uh, got carried away a little bit with the detail work. Which, I usually do with ice... but the day after I did this (which was about four hours worth of work, btw), I realized that I sorta needed to not have the foreground be so busy.
So yesterday, dora let me borrow his tablet again and I worked on "fixing" the foreground, as well as doing a little more work on the picture overall. About another... ehn, collective three hours? On this part.
It's been super fun getting to play with a tablet again.
Will have MOART later this week. Am about to be knee-deep in final con preparations for AWA, so posts may be a bit sporadic until October. Catch you guys later, :D
