The good, the bad and the ugly

I had my wisdom teeth out, and was out for a while thanks to minor complications and fell behind on my online class. Still having a ton of fun learning oils though.

First the colour on top of the week 1 painting (last post). I like the colours, but they highlight all the multitude of issues with the structure. Super easy technique though.

This is last week's painting. First stage of 2. Will do stage 2 tomorrow probably.

The ugly. This painting just didn't go well. There's still a stage 2 to be done, hopefully I can fix it then. This was one of the assignments I missed.

And the good! Tiny gouache painting in my sketchbook. This was so fun! The yellow specks were an experiment that I immediately regretted.

Digital. Trying to apply things I've learnt. One thing I've learnt is that colour on photoshop sucks. So much easier to physically just mix paint.

Also I just couldn't get Roman Reign's nose right.

And in other big news..... I CAN FINALLY DRAW HORSES. It only took FIFTEEN YEARS. The bane of my artistic life has been the horse. As many a young female preteen, my friends and I were obsessed with horses. Only problem for me was that everyone was better at drawing them than I was. I still remember the intense jealousy. Now all these years later, not only can I draw a horse better, but everything else.
