This week’s art piece was inspired by a cup at Winners, it reminded me of a feeling of summer and an airy light feeling.
I thought this piece would also be interesting to try out as the overall look of the artwork is quite different from my first picture. It is more dynamic, it has multiple different layer which this time around was easy to figure out as that was something I worked on last week when I was testing out the waters.
While this week, a huge part of what I was trying to figure out was how to incorporating depth through lighting, and shading. Which included finding out how to highlight certain spots on a drawing allowing for the view to perceive the drawing more realistically.
This drawing is also composed of a couple different brushes, and hues of yellows and greens to give it a more rounded look. I picked up on these skills by watching a YouTube video by Make This Brush, on how to choose which brush stroke and style to use.
Another little hack I learned from this video was how to create a new library. By doing so it made it easier to find which brushes I was switching between. So when it came to choosing my brushes, this was way easier to switch between stylists depending on what I was aiming to create.
Overall, this journey through digital art is quite fun, and as time passes I find it interesting to find my own style. Although I am no Picasso, as of right now, I hope to continue to grow in both my skill and passion.
Thanks for reading!
