Keep your eyes on the ball! (Or maybe fig leaf ) gift for @dynewulf of his character Chester! If you haven’t played “Extracurricular Activities” you’re missing out !
@LysanderTime Id also say getting the right color in the right location is also pretty important relative color is a wonderful optical illusion to turn your painting into off color mud pretty quickly. Like I’ve “painted myself into a corner” on some places but it’s still worked out
@LysanderTime lol I have my moments , tbh I think a lot of it is just breaking it down into manageable steps and constantly making intermediary references for yourself.
Yippee!!! I finally have the free time and mental energy to put my silly drawings on here :D TLDR the most toxic relationship I’ve ever been in apparently is with my cell service provider . But no matter — here is a close up of the LOG from my oil painting
@Alex_Ardilla5 Like I’m literally out here using the back of a cereal box as my go to for practice. Sure it will warp alittle bit but that’s what my old thermodynamics textbook is for
@Alex_Ardilla5 I’d also say stay consistent with your painting surface since how the paint “glides” or not on the surface is going to effect how much you are loading your brush and mixing . IMHO the best is card board with a layer of any acrylic medium to make a barrier between oil and paper
@Alex_Ardilla5 I don’t think I have the authority to give tips but the more you can simplify and break up your process the better . Like for this painting I made some maquettes and studies behind the scene so I know what I’m doing when the expensive canvas comes around.
@InternetDonJuan Hehe well I’m glad you enjoy my responses! I shall continue to stumble my way through visual communication akin to a Elden ring dungeon . If I ever can get a concise grip on my story telling/comic I’ll post it here~
