#wip another step forward today in coloring. :-)

Very interesting! I always wondered how this is made. Now I watched the video and a lot of questions are answered! Really fascinating.

Ahhh nice! I just started with that kind of optic and now I see what else is possible with that!

You are doing real prints, don't you? With lino and so on?
Apart from the digital I just do chopsticks in traditional painting and specialized on them. So unfortunately the woodcut style motif will not become a real woodcut print. :-/ but i will paint it on a hairstick or chopstick by hand:-)

Thank you! I am curios too.
But i don't have an option to print it so far. I have to check out a matching paper and try the local print shop for some samples

Wow the blur on the hair in the back is good!

First colors..
#wip #woodcutprintstyle

A man in samurai like traditional clothing and armor is standing in a landscape looking down on a flower in his hand.
I the background are some mountains and it looks like he is on an old battlefield maybe. It unfinished, with some colors already, but partly uncolored so far

Thank you very much!
Not much shadows yet, but that makes it easier so far. :-)

the third is (I still wonder where it came from) an own pose. (I took pictures of myself to correct the anatomy😆that was fun)
The last is still a sketch for the next illustration practice.

This is what our talk turned out into 🤗 thank you so much for encouraging me!
The first one still needs color, the second one is quite close to the reference, but i changed the sex to male (love to do that),

It lowered my restance. I think my blockade is expecting to much of me, even if I am still an advanced beginner in digital painting. and than feeling overwhelmed and unable that my brain doesn't give out all information needed for a motif

Hi, our talk motivated me to start a wave of practice again, and I painted a lot the last 2 weeks digitally, thanks to your recommendations. It helped a lot to allow references and to look out for something I like, to make fanart of it.

Thank you very much!

Ah that's sounds quite similar to my construction😆: a kitchen window and a mirror in a angle and a transparent paper sheet clipped onto a holder breaking the window light. I should try out using white cardboard as reflector instead! So far I just used it as background🤔☺️thanks!
