Totally out of order, but here is the very last time lapse from my Dumpster Diving Fairy story. This time its a magpie peeking into their dumpster and finding an unwelcome guest.
Another little Emote Session in Clip studio Paint. I didn’t really have a solid idea on this one, and you can see the expression shift quite dramatically as I go.
Playing it back, I still kinda like the first idea though and will totally have to give that expression the time it deserves. ๐
Do you want to know what live streaming is good for? That’s right, content! And here is some of that content, conveniently smooshed together and sped up for your viewing pleasure. ๐
Won’t be long now and Thell the Fairy will have all her illustrations done and ready! Annnndd…. then I just need to edit her story all over again. ๐
What is this? A time lapse of an Emote Painting process? A recording from a live stream?
Who is this person and what have they done with me?! Crazy abductions and mind altering madness!
Or maybe not that crazy?
Over the past week I have made a whole two emotes (go me!) and wow have I learned things. What things, do you ask? Well, apparently I belong to the Emote school of DERP. Huh, who woulda thunk?
I kinda like these giant eye-balled, overtly emotive little guys. So happy! So manic! I will totally be spending more time painting up these goofballs. And who knows, maybe I’ll be a chibi artist next. :O
This week I have been busy with the first bit of homework for the Magic Box course over at The Oatley Academy. Its a self guided course in all things digital painting. I’ve been meaning to do it for a while now and have finally had the chance to dive in. ย My brain is fried and I’m only on module 1!
But it has been awesome. It’s helping me with figuring out how to use reference effectively, how to plan a painting and specifically, how to create colour comps with a soft gradient. ย Random side note, in all three years of Fine Arts studies, not one lecturer actually broke down how to PLAN a painting. Isn’t that crazy? How did I go through three years of Art Study and never do colour comps? HOW?!
Mind.
Boggling.
Alas.
I’m begining to feel way more comfortable with the Gradient and Lasso tools than I did at the start of this week and I’m really starting to enjoy the effects I can create with them. Here are the results of my learning:
