Another sloppy doodle
Really, what I need to do is bust open my pdf art books and tackle perspective and vanishing points again. Its been over a year and with how infrequently ive done landscapes it would probably improve a bit of everything.
Do you all use the line tool for straight edges, or are you just practiced enough by hand to make clean edges without it? I've been trying to use only hard, round brushes at full opacity for everything but effects to get better at colors and feeling out transitions, which has made things look worse but teach more, I think.
also forgot to pick a brush with no transparency...

First one for today. I'm hoping to get two more done this afternoon.
This took me much longer than it should have. Any tips on improving it?
Reference
I don't know, but would some hard-edged pure whites on the armour increase the impression of shiny metal?
I might go back and touch up some of the highlights, particularly the ones on his helmet. There are a bunch of small details I'm just noticing now that are really bugging me.
This morning's work. I had a reference but lost it after the first half hour. : /
... I am so lazy.
I've been trying to do this with crayon (as it's been the only tool within reach at work) and it's too hard.
I don't really know what I'm doing, I just hope I'm on the right track!
I'm learning a lot about coloring digitally. Turns out it's not like using crayons at all. :oops:
argh
I based this on a drawing I did a long time ago and then I started to get frustrated with the lighting on the leaves and then botched the tree trunks. pfft
I wish I had a program other than photoshop elements, I can't figure out how to mess around with and customize brushes
It's a loose, blobby mess but I think I like it more.
I haven't been able to draw much this week due to grad class final papers, but hopefully this weekend I can make up for the difference have have a handful more studies.
