More Ino

She's like all I draw lately. The Naruto re-runs probably aren't helping.

Adventures in Digital Painting

So... I have decided to revisit digital painting after so many previous pathetic attempts that involved throwing color onto a blank canvas haphazardly on Photoshop only to rage quit five minutes later. What you see above is my progress, which is much better than the note I was close to quitting on:

(Five minutes into painting.)

On a personal note, I really need to work on pushing through that hump of not being able to produce the masterpieces I envision in my mind within three brush strokes or less. I get so very demotivated by my imagined incompetence that I am nearing the hundreds in terms of how many times I have quit art. Tiiime. Patience! Things I do not have!!!

The subject herself is Sarah Brewer, a bitizen I have in my Tiny Tower that I have always imagined in my mind to look relatively coot. This is her:

I think I done good so far.

So yeah, that's what I'm doing right now. Now that I have formed somewhat of a human face, I really am enjoying painting. I love forming what is essentially "something out of nothing." Like shaping a person's face out of nothing but color; it's really cool. I have serious hopes to push past the frustrating beginnings of starting a piece a bit more often if this is how it feels afterwards.

Dolce

Fall, fall, fall...

Dolce is probably my favorite female in RF4. (♥) If only it was as easy to choose between Leon and Dylas. I wish I didn't have to in-game... :^B

Aloha~

I started some line work of Ino that I wanted to finish by her birthday... in September. A couple months later, I finally lay down some color. For the end result, I was leaning towards those vintage "visit Hawaii" prints and this came out.

Purple

I tried watercolor again and combined it with my typical ink style; this picture came out. I rather fancy the result and I'll probably try it again. The background is just a bunch of stock pictures I threw together.
