There is no turning back

Been a while since I’ve made an illustration. And man do I miss it! :) I’ll try to make at least once a week coz I am pretty busy with classes! :P This week, was all about VALUES and I just want to incorporate that. :)

Digi-painting practice

Decided to practice digi-painting with reference and this is zee rezuuult! :) 

Got to get better on it though. :P hehe 

As what Linguini would say: "Let's do this thing!" :)

I finally found you

Recently watched the lovely bittersweet "Millennium Actress" and got inspired by it so I made some thumbnail studies :)

More Value Thumbnail studies

Remember the last post? I wasn't too happy with one value thumbnail study? So I made three more! :)

***Note: The 1st value thumbnail is on the top left! :P

I played and experimented on the values so I can get the effect or mood I wanted for this illustration! :)

I even tried to experiment with composition and spaces. Like doing a frame within a frame but I think it didn't work well because there were so many things going inside the frame) Hehe ohwell, it's an experiment so it's alright!

I'll try to do some more or do you guys think this is okay? :) 

Let me know what you think! :)

So, I tried doing a value thumbnail and with that help, I got into color thumb (which is the one you can see at the rightmost). I wanted to practice/explore/experiment with colors that could be suited with the value thumbnail that I made. Then tried some color comp (which is the one on the bottom). 

Though I feel there is something missing. I don't know quite sure what it is but I think its something to do with what mood I want to achieve or something. :P hehe So I figured to make some more value thumbnails. 

Bare with me, I am not so good with coloring, or digi-paint for that matter. I am not good with painting straight away as some artist are more comfortable. :P hehe I think I need to do some thumbnail-ing first before going into it (from value to color). So now, I am doing some self-studying when it comes to this kind of things. :P Pretty much this is one of the things I struggle after perspective but I am eager to learn and get better. :)

Hopefully as time passes I do. :) will update more ones I get the hang of it! :)

The Alhambra Challenge: Doing my values and next will be my color comping. Been really researching and self study digi-painting. Getting some tips from Elioli sisters, Ty Carter and Griselda Sastrawinata. (Check them also out! :) They have great work and give some great tips as well!)
