I’ve Been Going About Some Really Rough Color Testing While I’ve Been Doing Anatomical Tweaks And

I’ve been going about some really rough color testing while I’ve been doing anatomical tweaks and ink refining on the main character of a webcomic I’m working on in my spare time.

It’s really frustrating, because I’m kind of old school with my mentality of “do not mix brown and black together, unless you are an unfashionable pleb”, but it seems like this calls for it. I’m sitting here thinking to myself “Hmn...can leather be dark red? How would I go about breaking that fashion rule? I don’t know how to approach this.” I’ve also noticed that character design for fantasy characters doesn’t typically have that many restraints, so part of me is wondering if I should just resign to mixing black and brown, and being like “Screw it, those are reddish-brown leather boots and gauntlets.”

The First Panel Is Almost Done! That Said, Aiming To The Hatching Look Vaguely Like Medieval Woodcuts

The first panel is almost done! That said, aiming to the hatching look vaguely like medieval woodcuts is not as easy as I was hoping it would be, so it seems like this might be another one of those time-sink pages. :/

Things I should have done in the past 12 hours; sleep.

Things I did in the past 12 hours; worked on something that’s still not done, but oh boy, do I really like fiddling around with halftones to make a minimalistic a e s t h e t i c design composition I wanted to do for a while.

Also, this has been my jam for this. No lie.

Oh Boo Hoo! I Didn't Translate The List In The Exact Same Order! I'm Kinda Mad About DuoLingo Being Picky

Oh boo hoo! I didn't translate the list in the exact same order! I'm kinda mad about DuoLingo being picky about things! I know that it's probably some sort of weird function involving an <ol> tag somewhere, but it's like...why do I have to get penalized about "pen and pencil" as opposed to "pencil and pen"?

I Learned That Adobe Capture Is A Thing From One Of My Classmates. This Is Probably More Useful For Custom
I Learned That Adobe Capture Is A Thing From One Of My Classmates. This Is Probably More Useful For Custom

I learned that Adobe Capture is a thing from one of my classmates. This is probably more useful for custom logo typography (Because my preferred illustration style usually doesn't entail vectors, and I don't like how the nuance of the previous line work is gone now), but I tested it on a sketch I never finished. I may fiddle with it a bit more in the future. It may prove to be a useful tool.

Taking a break on comic making to work on a crime drama novel for NaNoWriMo feels strange, but there’s only so much I can do in a single day, so eh.

I’ll hopefully bang out this novel quickly and then get back to comic making..and I’ll probably make a book design this month as a result.

Here's A Digital Painting Based Off Of An Old OC I Had From Late High School/early College.

Here's a digital painting based off of an old OC I had from late high school/early college.

I wish I had more time to sit down and do more digital painting for my characters, but I tend to be doing design and economics work for college.

I appreciate this advice...also, I think this puts yet another bullet point under "Let's establish some boundaries at work and shut off availability on at least Tuesday".

Maybe more streaming would be in order as well.

I’ve noticed that I’m quite abysmal at keeping up drawing whenever I have a new partner in my life.

I love art and design, but I’m absolutely infatuated with my bae, and it’s conflicting. because I don’t know how to balance both loves at the same time, as well as my day job.

I don’t know what to do with myself at the time, and advice would be lovely.

Today's #throwbackthursday is brought to you by a WIP based off of UCF's branding. It feels oddly appropriate to bring this up while I'm seriously thinking about going back to school at FSU. . . . . . #artistsofinstagram #digitalpainting #illustration #ucf #pegasus #yellow #black #gold #horse #wings https://www.instagram.com/p/B1fhsxihN13/?igshid=htgdbyvvckia
