Haha no worries, I totally get it and I appreciate your input! :D
I did use an owl reference as starting point but improvised most parts so I would have been utterly surprised if my interpretation of an owl would have been even remotely anatomically correct :)
I really like the tones and blending! Only critique I can think of for this particular style, is that the outline feels a bit too dominant, especially on the side of the shadow. What I would try there would be either (a) blending the outline into the shadow, so it is one shape instead of the subject + shadow divided by a line, (b) use a color for the line that is closer to the hue of the subject, rather than mostly gray/black or © experiment with line weight a bit. Just some thoughts, I hope it makes sense :)
Very happy to hear!
Thank you so much! :)
Thank you! For this one I mixed digital painting with traditional charcoal :)
No worries, you do you!
This is fun, I really love catching all the little details!
I love that video, definitely has left an impression on me.
I’m very flattered, thank you! :)
The charcoal sticks I’m mainly using are part of Cretacolor’s Art Chunky line; so big chunky sticks, but broken in half for easier handling :) Kneaded eraser for details and cleanup. For smudging and blending I usually use my fingers, sometimes blending stumps or paper towels, depending on what effect I want to achieve.
Charcoal, yeah. Thank you! :)
Loving all the little details you put in, wonderful work!
Thank you! Glad to hear that I’ve been able to sneak some otherwordly vibes in there as well!
Thanks!
