Been busy, haven’t had much time to draw the past few days, but I’ve been working on this character from an illustrated novel idea I have…

It’s been hard to get back into doing environments. I followed @marcbrunet.bsky.social ‘s fantasy environment video though and think this came out okay, need to do more of these…

Happy with the colors here. Wish I’d used a lighting reference for this one though. Usually I use magic poser web but didn’t bother this time.

trying to work on faces and eyes a bit, ended up using this as an excuse to practice coloring and try some different effects. Not sure I understand #procreate bloom filter….

tried a different way of shading, not sure if I like how it came out. A little too 90s cell shading for my taste…

You can see the difference the colors make, stockings were to bright and hair too desaturated, the color change draws attention to the face.

Rakugaki Matt @rakugakimatt.bsky.social · Aug 6

Let redo this, had to make some color corrections…

I tried inking this one, even though I like the look of the MBLegendary brush, this looks a lot cleaner and was easier to color. Ink brush also great for AO shadows

Got off work early today so I had time to work on a new piece. Still a work in progress.

More color practice, kimono took forever, I tried to do a summer themed image, but I feel more confident about shading this way. Have to try doing backgrounds one of these days…

A million times this.

I was at my most miserable with my webcomic when I aimed to go with what I thought would be popular, rather than just drawing what I enjoyed.

David Cooper @davidbcooper.bsky.social · Jul 31

Make stuff you wanna make, not stuff you think will be popular, otherwise you’ll be chasing a fickle algorithm forever.

(Maybe this lady likes making the same video a million times, I shouldn’t judge.)

imovie sucks I tried to fix this timelapse, but it's wide screen because I cut out a huge part of unrelated sketching, lol. This originally started on a practice file with 100s of layers, but here is the timelapse... #timelapse

not really happy with how this turned out, but first one with no line art at the end.

started another drawing of Bramble. You can see where I had the most trouble in the red lines, trying to keep the sketch loose so I can get rid of the lines when I color it.

Had a chance to go to bukatsu today. Hard to stay motivated in this humidity but managed to draw some

I hate coloring, it’s so time consuming, I’m more of a drawer, but I tried following some color harmony with this.

Fucking finally it is there in plain writing. It often felt like this basic fact was overlooked in the debate. Before we even talk about what is "transformative" or not, or whether AI slop could compete with human works, the fact is that it's infringement to collect all these works for training.

A late night sketch of my elf character for my project. Students have tests next week so there has been no clubs this week.
