Hello again!
I wanted to come back with a new direction for my account- and with a new profile picture. :)
The direction of my account:
I get quite physically tired and often get art block when I try and draw multiple drawings in a day, which is sad because I really love drawing.
I definitely will continue to do art and post it here!
I will also be uploading some gaming content (screenshots and writing) as I've been very into Stardew Valley over the last few months. I think it would be fun to make a new save and document my process on there. :)
I've done a few step by step screenshots- I made this on Procreate (my favourite drawing app) on my iPad. It took me roughly an hour or two to design and then finish.
This is my new profile picture!!! I went for a more cartoony look, I love my drawings to look sleepy so I definitely tried to emphasise that with the eyes.
I initially sketched this in my sketchbook with a mechanical pencil, and then took a picture and imported it to Procreate. After that, I did the outline - I use 30% (I think) stabilisation with it because my hands are shaky, which really helps!!!
I blocked in the flat colours, using the same colour palette, all with purpley or muted tones as they are my favourites. :) I lowered the opacity so the colours blended together a bit better.
To finish, I added some shading with the red toned colours on the cheeks and eye area, and then added white highlights to make it pop a bit.
Thank you so much for reading, I'm really hoping to get a bit more consistent with posting as I have some more free time at the moment, and I feel more confident with what to post.
