I'm judge for the Artdome this week but I wanted to do something for it as well. So I did up an one of the prompts and timelapsed the sculpting. Did my best youtuber impression and its a little wonky but I've never done video content before. https://youtu.be/vdkP9rM4olM End result:

These are both great but especially the Big Mood underneath. The first one reminds me of a tattoo for some reason. Old rodent

i got a gift card to an art supply store for my birthday, so i bought a cheap watercolor starter set. i probably should have started by painting an apple but instead i dove right in and kind of learned as i went i rate this not bad for a first effort, knowing that i'm going to need a ton of practice to feel remotely competent (also some of the markers i used to do the lineart turned out to not be as waterproof as i thought, oops). what i'm most pleased with is that i was able to retain my style and point of view when going from digital to real anyone know the best way to flatten it back out??? i did a lot of layers just experimenting and i think it caused the paper to curl a bit on the ends

To avoid this in the future, if you're doing heavy washes or using very thin paper, drown your paper first. Splash a ton of water on it with a brush or a sponge, both sides, and leave it on a flat board or something similar to settle for, like, 15 mins. Then you come back and press down on it and dry off the excess water with aforementioned sponge or a couple of paper towels. It should still be damp when you start painting. Option 2 is using painter's tape on all 4 sides and taping it to a board to keep it neat. The super fancy way is literally drowning your paper in water and letting it soak for 5 mins, then taping it on a board for overnight so when you come back, it's stretched tight and won't warp when you start wetting it. I could never be arsed with that one, I just do painter's tape.

its pretty thick paper but i definitely used a lot of water because i made a lot of passes just trying different blending things and amounts of water so im sure it dried unevenly. thanks for the tips on how to prep it next time edit: ill just say the fun part of this is running into new problems i'd never have with digital and figuring out or asking for help on how to solve them another lesson i learned pretty fast is having to care about what direction im working in so i don't accidentally smear my lunar mount thru the paint Al! fucked around with this message at 18:24 on Jul 21, 2019 |

Hoverhands ain't just for photos. My sketchy for today:

Yeah I killed those off pretty quickly but I agonized about having something in the halo for contrast. But instead I cheated the circle and narrowed it on the shoulders, and I think that handled the concerns I was having.

I could never be arsed with that one, I just do painter's tape. Tape comes loose a lot of times, stapling works much better, plus you get to go nuts with the stapler.  Tonight's stream was the random prompt of 'starmap', so I did a map for the scifi rpg I'm playing atm. I'm really pleased with this for a 2h pic!

Just use either a really wide roll of painter's tape and tape way further than you think you need to, or use some of that gummy clothy tape, you absolute barbarian. Do you have any idea how many times I've squished the delicate meatweb between my thumb and index finger with staplers? Every single goddamn time I think something would be easier with a stapler, I'll first fail to get the staple to sink in, and when I get a proper grip so I can really press down, the stapler bites me. Plus then you got lil tiny holes in your nice flatboard. Cuuuurrrrse the staaaapleeeers.

I still figured out how to make it gross and weird. Hamster Cowboy herds roaches. For milk.  Still really need to get around to painting this drat thing.. Also need to draw hamster cowboy milking said roaches.

I paid about $45 AUD for a block of 12in by 9in arches watercolour block with 20 sheets shipped from the UK. Just over $2 a page seemed reasonable to me, butt YMMV.

You don’t need a block. Go on YouTube and watch all of Russell Black’s videos, he’s a really really good painter and he explains a ton of technical stuff including how not to stretch paper.

Do you have any idea how much of my time you just now wasted? Another channel of painting I need to follow. All while knitting or doing some cross stitching instead of actual painting! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=channel?UCRRshfNrs1fkFlovryENAAQ?videos

When I draw hands they look like meat-mittens, this will not stand.  I'm really pleased with the last pair - I'm trying to work on contrasting straight/fluid lines, and I think it worked well there. lofi fucked around with this message at 18:31 on Jul 24, 2019 |

ITS QUEEN OF THE DAMNED AND RIGHT THEN AND THERE I START DOING THE MOVES ALONGSIDE WITH THE MAIN CHARACTER, LESTAT. Don't tell anyone I had to google which character was the main one. I'm almost certain there was no vampire-karaoke in it, though I honestly remember gently caress-all about it despite probably seeing it twice or thrice? OH NO maybe it's inserted itself into my subconscious  lofi posted:
You're right, last pair defo the best, especially the left hand is sweet af. I always love seeing the sort of .. spidery bouncewave fingersections. I gotta ask though, the square thumbends - where did you pick that up? Because I've seen people do it to all fingers but especially thumbs and I've tried it and thought it was good for manhands but it still feels a bit off when I do it. Used to looking at my own hands and I guess my thumbs are abnormally round.

It's weird, some movies just leave no impression in your brain no matter how many times you watch them. Literally the only things I remember of the film is that there were funky walls at some point and then a vampire skeleton gave someone the finger, which was freaking excellent. Must've been incredibly mediocre, I'd have memories if it was actively terrible. Mind you, my definition of terrible might be a tad misguided, since me and a friend used to have lovely vampire movie nights where we'd go to the local video rental and we didn't even touch stuff that looked like it had a budget above "we filmed in mah mam's house". Rule was we were NOT allowed to fast forward, only allowed to drink more when it was too unbearable. I gotta tell ya, all that experience still did not make Twilight a watchable movie. Surprise, vampire:

Went to a local art club today! It was fun, the only person I knew was the model. It was less weird than I expected drawing her naked - people aren't people when you're drawing them, just a collection of angles and stories. Another sacrifice to the foreshortening gods. Shoulda used a desk easel. It's a shame, the pic looks really good if you look at the sketchbook at the angle I drew from.
