Paint Pictures Everyday (Not about Snoop Dogg)

[open_sketchbook]

I have a goal. The goal is to be really good at digital painting.

Here's where I am now. I did these in the last two days.







The goal is to become as awesome as possible as fast as possible. To that end, if you have any ideas for something I should paint, or any imput at all, please feel free!

red alert?

[open_sketchbook]

Yeah, I kinda do a Red Alert 3 mod.

Also, the paintings continue...

I feel like I'm getting somewhere with this!

those are really good, there's some wierd perspective issues that make parts of the paintings seem "off" but otherwise I think they're great.

I see progressively less blurriness in your pics, so yeah, it looks like you're getting a lot better. You look like you have a lot of raw talent there.

You might already know, but use multiple vanishing points to keep your foreshortening of non-people objects straight. If you mock them up digitally this is a hell of a lot easier than the dead tree route.

Thanks btw, you got me on my ass to actually practice a bit myself last night.

[open_sketchbook]

Yeah, I'm garbage at perspective. I'm not giving up on it; I ordered a couple of books last night and I'm basically going to put nose to grindstone about it, but it has never come easy to me, so digital mockup is something I thought of early on.

I did these concepts about a week ago using a clay render as a base.

Homestuck fanart counts, right?

I wanted to do something with colours because all greyscale all the time was wearing me down.
