Practice Makes Progress - Tumblr Posts

I decided to attach the process to this girl!

sketch -> lineart -> flats -> lighting :)

Trying out some new techniques with my work, as I'm feeling my current artwork feels outdated.

Drew my Bulbasaur Harry, gave her golden pothos parts because I love golden pothos!

I'm thinking of making a series.

Making two images, one in the day and one at night the nighttime one will feature a ghost and a story behind it.

The main goal is to practice backgrounds and lighting, maybe even colour theory cause boy.... I suck at backgrounds.

Why ghosts.... Honestly I've been thinking a lot about life and death. About what happens when we go and how it effects or doesn't effect the world we leave behind

As you wonder down the country roads, passing through the flooded fields.

A ghastly shape catches your eye, as they gracefully drift by.

The knowledge of their departure is lost, to all those living currently.

Yet you are theft wondering if others see them fluttering. Upon the water surface gliding by so quietly, as the death that took them.

First to Last

It’s been two years since I started drawing ang here’s a comparison of my first (on the left) and my last, or my most recent drawing (on the right) of vJay.

I have to be honest, my first drawing has its flaws, AND its charm. With that being said, never stop practicing. Because that’s how you improve, and eventually you’ll grow as you learn to be the artist you wanted to be.
