I am always tired. Don't bother me.
I just finished another piece recently and am working on another one. Here is the first piece:
It is based on a photograph that my cousin took in Big Sky, Montana seven years ago while we were on a family trip. For reference:
Not perfect by any means of course, but the purpose of the painting was to practice using a sponge to create texture, as well as trying a couple of other methods with watercolor, such as putting down a layer of water on the paper prior to applying any paint, which is how I was able to give the sky its layered look.
The second piece is something I'm currently working on. It is an image of the protagonist in the manga, The Duke of Death and His Black Maid:
I wanted to try something a little different from all the landscape paintings I have been doing lately and wanted to try my hand at something a tad more cartoonish (I mean, if you look at my prior stuff using a tablet, that was most of what I did). The lineart was mostly me transcribing the image onto paper which is why it looks 10x better than if I were to actually try to sketch from memory, but hey, that's how you build skill (by copying other people's stuff lol)! The original image was completely black and white with some grey in the mix, but I plan on giving it a little more vibrance by including some green, purple, and maybe even a speck of red or two.
