Quinn and V fanart
been a while since i drew my main characters from my film Bang! Bang! but sometimes i think about what they're up to these days. i WISH i recorded the process but we can't all be smart. i wanted to really focus on lineart and hard shadows in this piece instead of rendering. i've never really used this technique and it was a lot of trial and error since you can't hide mistakes in fancy shading. every line and shape has to be design...

Study 5
Another embarrassing attempt but I guess better than the first at least
study 4

trying so hard pt 2
tried another go at a portrait painting. i can't believe how bad it looks, but it definitely came out better than yesterday's attempt. before I created this portrait, I did a style study of @edowadodono.art (below) to try to understand how he thinks about colour, planes, and texture. after this warm up, I gave the above a try. from far if you squint it's ok. i have a long way to go!
Trying so hard
Today I cried because I’m trying so hard to learn how to render and it’s so hard and my paintings look horrible. First pic is the good one so you don’t actually see the embarrassing one. (Second drawing). I’m gonna start with smaller studies I think and try value studies and then maybe go into colour. Wish me luck :(
