Made some art! Followed a Blender Tutorial by Polygon Runway as the base because I hadn't touched Blender in a while. Did my own lighting setup and then an overpaint. Enjoying this workflow, definitely want to experiment more with it.

Finally finished this drawing of my husband's Genasi Swashbuckler! It's been a very busy couple of weeks 😭 Was nice to have some drawing time. Our living room is still utter chaos but my PC is set up at least!

Another WIP, cropped in. I swing between liking then hating my drawings I don't know why. Struggling with colour and saturation balance a lot 🙃

Finished my Kenku Bard, Chee! We had a fun time over Pandemic lockdown playing DnD over Zoom, it was a lovely experience during what was a pretty shitty time.
This was a tough drawing, I'm not used to this painting style. Gotta keep at it though!

Sketch studies from tonight (in red) cos I'm nostalgic for S1 Stranger Things.
Also progressively older face studies from the past couple weeks. Including the first set where I actually cried because it felt so bad and I thought I couldn't draw faces anymore.

Day 5! Some WIP of what I'm working on. It's messy and I'm terrified of actually rendering it and sharing process is scary and I also feel like hot garbage so I'm gonna eat some chocolate and lie down.
Love you all this place is so nice.

Don't think I ever posted these together as a little set. I still love them, when I have walls I can make holes in I'm going to print them out and have them there because they make me happy 😄

Day 3! Switching it up and painting more animals because the cat was fun. I'm still feeling very rusty. Any digital painting tutorials would be appreciated!

Day 2 of Progress journey. More colour studies, but night time.
3h or so again. I don't think I'll do these every day as they take a lot of time. But maybe one a day at least.
Enjoying trying to keep things colourful.

Some sleepy pokemon bois. It's been a long day and I doodled this instead of really paying attention to the tutorial I was watching.
It feels good to want to draw though. Even something very simple and self indulgent.

Let's call this Day 1 of progress journey.
Practicing colours, brushwork, and making bigger shapes without obsessing over detail too much.
~3hs for the lot. My hand hurts.

A gouache painting, with the various parts of the process to figure out values and composition. Colours were a bit muddy but I'm mostly happy with it.
