Hoping this upcoming year I’ll be more active and won’t discourage myself

Lighting study I did today

Reference

[elk @Grassfedelk]

I left out the eyelashes bc the brush I was using did not give the results I needed, and I wasn’t able to find a proper brush to do the job. I also was less proud of the iris I painted. But the window pane lighting on top distracts whatever was going on there which is good.

Did this eye study from Sinix Design’s “Anatomy Quick Tips: Eyes” YouTube video. I’m actually quite proud of it.

This is the overall reference. I followed their painting process, choosing brushes and colors that seemed similar to those they were using (since I use a different program—procreate). The video link: https://t.co/JE4kyI7I9t

Didn’t focus too much on lighting even though the reference has strong light sources. I did initially when I used grayscale, but when I started using color I kind of lost the plot.
