Day 60: Working on my ability to come up with original faces. I'm sure it's just a mixture of faces I've seen and whatever my hand creates, but there's a certain joy in not having a perfect image in my head before I start. #art #artsky #digitalpainting #sketch Ref from @trueref.bsky.social
A quickly digitally brushed painting of a long-faced masculine figure. A digital sketch of a masculine figure looking deviously off to the side of the viewer. They wear a few pieces of large adornment.

Day 57: I found some old drawings from when I was ~10-13 years old. I thought it would be fun to do some sketches reimagining the characters and items now that I have a more practiced hand. #sketch #WIP #art #artsky Ref from @trueref.bsky.social

Day 56: A quick face study while playing DnD. I want to start working on faces more since there will be lots of characters I need to draw in the future. I caught some good muscle definition, but the lips need some work. #art #sketch #critique #artsky Ref from @trueref.bsky.social
A digital sketch of a masculine figure looking over their shoulder at the viewer. They have a mildly disgruntled facial expression.

Digital painting of a man, who is standing nude in water in a night scenery. His back are turned toward us, and we see a pair of translucent, blue, shimmering butterfly wings on his back. His skin is pale, and dark in the night, body strong and muscular. His hair long and deep purple, eyes bright and yellow, and ears pointy like that of an elf or a fae. He's a character from a game Genshin Impact, a fae named Chiril Chudomirovich Flins.

I love seeing all the amazing work being shared by the artists here! Allow me to share mine for your consideration.

Forgive me for posting again, I somehow forgot to add my painting?!

Day 54: Details are so fun! I went overboard with the cracks, I'll scale it back tomorrow. I want to get the moss on the ground to be more clearly moss, I need to go in with a sharper brush I think to highlight it a bit. #art #WIP #critique #artsky Ref from @trueref.bsky.social
A WIP digital painting of a gremlin-like stone creature with draconic features. Its body is cracked in various places with its torso and eyes exposing an eerie glowing blue crystal within its body. It crouches on all fours and looks up at the viewer from amidst the darkness.

Day 53: Finished up the haunches, now it's time for final detailing. I have lots of fun ideas to bring this to the next level. Also decided that the glow wasn't popping enough, so I darkened it a bit. Hopefully it's still visible? #art #WIP #artsky #critique Ref from @trueref.bsky.social
A WIP digital painting of a creature that stalks the darkness and looks up at the viewer. The creature has cracks in its stone body that reveal a strange blue glow emitting from a strange crystalline structure within. It crouches on all fours.

Day 52: I am inching closer to a completed digital painting. I discovered that I should use vector brushes in the future for my linework, it'll give me cleaner selections. Perhaps saving me the trouble of mastering the selection tool. #art #digitalpainting #artsky #WIP Ref from @trueref.bsky.social
A WIP digital drawing of a stone creature with cracks in it. It is crawling on the ground while it looks up at the viewer in the dark.

Day 51: This is turning out so much better than I thought it would. There's still so much detail that I need to add, but I'm incredibly happy with this first attempt. Let's see if we can stick the landing. #art #sketch #critique #artsky #WIP Ref from @trueref.bsky.social

Day 50: Another WIP. I think I've got the entire vision coming together. Another amazing ref from @trueref.bsky.social helped me piece together the vision, we'll see if I can actually execute. Excited to put my first finished piece out there soon. #art #sketch #critique #artsky #WIP
A digital sketch of a WIP. A creature that crouches on the ground and looks up at the viewer that seems to made of cracked, smooth stone and strange crystals.

Day 49: WIP. I've reworked the body shape completely, and come up with a more complete idea. This more organic shape feels like it fits the environment better. I still would like to add cracks and moss. Shading needs work too. #art #sketch #critique #artsky #DungeonOfGazurfaf
An ideation page of the upper torso of a stone creature. Several rough line sketches and a simple color sketch make up most of the image. A sketch of arm details and a full body sketch without the head are in the bottom right corner of the image.

Day 48: I have this idea in my head, and I know this isn't it. It's certainly not the first time I've been unable to get an idea out. I need to have a more concrete idea in my head. The pose is fun, but I'm likely to scrap everything but the head. #art #sketch #critique #artsky #DungeonOfGazurfaf
A digital sketch of a bipedal construct with a vaguely draconic head. It has floating detached limbs and sits in a restful position while looking out towards something.

Day 47: If I could just get a handle on the lasso tool, I feel like it would unblock me from reaching the next level. Until then, I have to live with edges that just don't satisfy me. Maybe I'll find a good tutorial or something. #art #sketch #critique #artsky Ref from @trueref.bsky.social
A digital sketch of a feminine figure holding a mirror in one hand to the side and looking into it.

Day 46: Just gonna keep drawing what feels fun until I'm fully back in rhythm. I'm realizing I don't want to do line work art, so I need to stop giving it so much of my practice time. #art #sketch #critique #artsky Ref from @trueref.bsky.social
A digital sketch of a feminine figure wearing a long satin skirt and a bodice top. They sit on the edge of an object with one leg slightly raised while loosely holding a cigarette in one hand.

Day 45: Just had some fun with it today. Didn't think about what I was trying to accomplish, just wanted to do whatever felt good. I tried just using the generic pencil brush in Fresco, and it reminded me of drawing when I was a kid. #art #sketch #critique #artsky Ref from @trueref.bsky.social
A digital sketch of a feminine figure wearing a kimono and holding a flower. They are shaded in gray tones.

Day 43: I've drifted away from sketch practice. The value practice is good for future rendering work, but quick idea communication is what I'm after at the moment. I bashed my head into the wall until I found a way to depict curly hair. #art #sketch #critique #artsky Ref from @trueref.bsky.social
A digital sketch of a feminine portrait with curly hair.

Day 42: Trying to settle back into the groove with this, the hair study continues. I'm seeing progress now. I decided to try doing lowlights with hard brushes instead of the highlights and I like how it looks better now. #art #sketch #critique #artsky Ref from @trueref.bsky.social
A digital sketch of a feminine figure looking over their shoulder with dark, glossy hair.

Day 41: After a brief period of study, I'm back with a little hair practice. It should have been obvious, but hair seems to be all about the highlights and lowlights and how that indicates directionality. That is also how you represent different textures. #art #sketch #critique #artsky
Two thumbnail digital sketches of different hair textures. On the left is a digital sketch of locs, on the right is a digital sketch of straight hair pulled back in a bun.
