Hi everyone !
I come back today with a new a technique I hadn't yet deployed on Steemit.
Before, i was only working with traditionnal techniques. But 2 years ago, I enrolled in an illustration and animation school, so i discoverd computer graphics and all possibilities that there are.
To progress in digital painting, one of the best way is to do a lot of studies. Studies of photographs, master paintings,...
It will developp your eyes, but also your ability to handle the software.
So, at the beginning, i started with the idea of made a good and faithful study, as close as possible to the photo.
But, trough the process, i feel bored with that.
Arrived at the end of the copy process, I put my model aside, and begin a work of head improvement, adding lights, contrasts, and other details by imagination.
It was clearly the most pleasant part to realize, it is at this moment that i really enjoyed to work on it.
The detail that really makes the difference was for sure the bright light on the squirrel. Remember, an important thing which makes a drawing eyes-catching is powerful contrasts.
I think the most useful exercice for me must not be the faithfullest studies of a photograph, but to begin by a photo, and finish the work by my head.
My default in art is to can not to be able to detach myself from reality. I have this habit I can't help but feel to be maniac about copy each detail of a photograph, even though it may not be interesting or relevant to the drawing.
So.. now, let's go to the next level! :)
My objective is to be able to draw only by imagination, fantastics digital paintings or traditionnal paintings.
I will be very proud of me, and i would be able to create my own imaginated world.
Thanks for upvotes and comments you leave on my publications. I really appreciate the support. :)
Have a good day, and see you soon with new creations! ;)
