Away you go

Made a fan art of one of my favorite and admired artist, Ryan Andrews's recent comic :) Just got so inspired to make one. :P 

Loved his recent comic. If you want to read it here's the link: This Was Our Pact. It was actually nice of him to share it for free. :) Hope I could buy his compiled comic when it is published. Hehe It was actually in kickstart but I had no clue how it works...got confused how it works by the time I wanted to try and buy it...it ended. :( hehe Oh well, will wait for his FULLY COMPILED comics one day! :P

In this illustration I twicked it a bit. The lantern I made was inspired by the one in Tangled. :) And instead of a chinese or japanese wordings in the lantern which is usually the case, I mimic my native's old alphabet which is called BAYBAYIN. It writes, mahiwagang isda which means magical fish. :) And that person was suppose to be me... but it was a failed attempt! :)) hahaha oh well...its a working progress. :P

And here are my sketches I made before I made the final one :)

road to improvement: digipainting

Hello! :) It's been awhile since I've posted. Been busy finishing a project called Frere and it just finished this January. :)  It's a previledge to work on a project and meet incredible people. :) Now, I am back to practice becoming a better artist. hehe

Digipainting has been one of my challenges as an artist. I don't really know how to paint in photoshop. Usually I use pen tool, textures and brushes. I never did the blending thing. I didn't really know how to work on it.

Thanks to some people who've been encouraging me and gave me some tips and teach me, I've kept trying and trying. And here are some of things I've done.

I tried to make an illustration using one of the artist I admire the Elioli Sisters's tutorial and style. Here it is:

Still got to work on my values and composition. And because of that, I'm now studying values using black and white while working on my composition as well.

Another one of my practices:

Trying to get the hang of it. :P hehe
