Couldn't be bothered posting yesterday because I was over it. Still struggling hard.
So I decided to watch some tutorials. First up was Approaching Studies by Kalen Chock. He set homework for his class so I figured I should do the homework as well.
Couldn't figure out how to do the texture on this one.
Then I watched the virtual Plein Air video by Timothy Rodriguez. Not gonna lie, I stopped paying attention (A.D.D) and so my study didn't go so well. I thought it was later than it was, so I rushed... Could've gone for another 30-60mins :/
After my black and white studies, big shapes were a LOT easier, little shapes, not so much. I still haven't figured out a good way to indicate water. I need a focal point, I need more texture in the right areas (though I don't like using texture brushes.. I rationalise that painting on paper would have a lot of texture though, and digital pretty much has zilch). Probably my studies just need a lot of cleaning up, and some more bolder, confident shapes and decisions. I like the sky in the last one, it was really just a lot of indication. And foliage... still suck at foliage.. And rocks! :/
