Love this so much. I don't know why painting on the same layer and 'mixing' digital paint never occured to me, but it's such a great idea! Comes so much more naturally rather than working in separate layers which isn't how paint really works. Hope you make more videos like this! :)
I never understood how squinting your eyes was supposed to blur things, probably because I have glasses. I think the best face portrait I've done so far was like that because I had multiple references. I wasn't trying to do likeness though, I was trying to draw a random character for practicing purposes. In that picture, I was trying to draw an older guy with a hook nose so I had multiple photos of a hook nose from different angles, also what I wanted the overall face shape to be, and I think I had a reference for the skin color I wanted. I also had some images from Arcane because I like how they simplify faces because it's broken down into simple shapes without being too cartoony, which wasn't what I was going for at the time.
I honestly like it "blocky" a lot more than blended. You know, how you usually paint the dragons and all that. I lowe that so much❤
I agree honestly. I think I don’t know how to draw humans well enough to paint them blockier 😂
This was such a great video! you are doing amazing! Keep going!!
Haha thank you!
Relationship goals: letting your SO stare at you to get better at painting dragon food.
Hahahahaha I agree

Thank you I’m glad you like it!!! I love working on one layer. It helps because I’m disorganized anyway 😅.

OMG YES multiple references!!! That is such a good tip
Edit: also arcane was amazing. The art and the story were just so great
