Hello hello ☺️ I didn't expect to be writing again so soon but I was really happy with what I did last night that I just had to share!
So remember when I said I'd start doing more inkwash stuff but then last night I ended up using mostly fine liner brushes and I was already so happy with the raw output. But my boyfriend suggested I do an overlay and add a touch of color and damn did it turn out so good 🥹🥹 I have no regrets.
This is the final one with the color overlay
Duration: 3 hours
Software: Gopaint
This is the raw drawing in just fineliner and it's already good on its own but damn did the touch of color give it a boost.
And here is embrox
Progression:
I started with a rough sketch and lately I have been using the inkwash canvas a lot more because it has better texture than the other canvases gopaint has. I have experimented and downloaded a few more backgrounds from their official website but this one definitely stuck to me
I mostly worked on grayscale because I've been following this artist that always starts in grayscale then colors in at the end and I wanted to try that instead of going full color like I usually do. And O read somewhere that this would actually allow me to add highlights and accent better so I might just practice it too 😅 let's see.
Then we have my meticulous detail up where I worked my way down the contrast gradient. I usually do this anyway and I detailed up with thinner and thinner brush ends.
Then this is the raw and I was pretty sure I was done before i followed my boyfriend's advice 💕💕 no regrets and let's see if I'll do this for the other holo dragons I'll do next week!
Well, my break is almost over so I will see you guys again on my next post! Thank you so much for stopping by! I always appreciate it!
Looking very wicked, especially with the red added!
emmaaaaaa 😭😭😭 i haven't heard from you in a while
how have you been? I've missed you
Oh, Hanz you're so sweet 🥰. I've been doing well, steady as she goes! Even when I'm quiet I'm always lurking 👀😁. I'm glad you found yourself in a good relationship.
still busy with work? i don't see you drawing anymore 😢😢 but I'm glad you're doing good ☺️ i do see you around every now and then
And it has been a test of patience to finally get back to where we were before the break up we had 🥲 I'm also happy we finally got to this point
Work occupies a lot of my focus and energy 😩. I am still painting, but nothing digital. Traditional is a lot slower! But it's OK. Serious relationships take a lot of dedication and compromise, I feel you. And I hope you're both happy together! It's worth the effort for someone you love ❤️
it's definitely draining you and i can see that 🥲🥲🥲 i miss having you around more often, actually 🥲
And yeah, we're taking this a lot more seriously this time so we've both been building and talking about what we need to do and what we have to do for a future together. it feels nice though. to know that someone wants a future with me
I miss you guys too, rip artpark 💀🖤
You're right, it's definitely necessary to talk about things and have a mutual understanding. Since this is the 2nd time, maybe it's really meant to be with you two!
Wow that's pretty cool both colored and not!
i know, i love how it came out this time OwO 💕
