Well, I did say I was going to return to it and finish it. And I diiid...
Let's just that speedpainting this really taught me a lot. Even if the final product is mediocre at best.
Environments are one of my weakest points. Of course, as a growing artist I have to recognize this and, instead of shying away from them, only work on them all the harder. As I have been trying to do... with, well, results. Of some kind.
But hey, everyone's gotta start somewhere! And now I know things like looking at reference pictures. (Can we just say I was testing out brushes and that's why I didn't bother to look at a reference? Yeah let's go with that.) But it's okay, because I'm learning. And that's what sketching is for! And next time will be a whole lot better! :) So here's to more environments and better painting!
Also I'm trying to work without textures (besides just brushes). For someone that abuses textures, that's no easy task! But I'm getting there. :) This might have been a kind of difficult picture, but it didn't start strong, so it's no surprise that it ended on a disappointing note. So finally you just have to throw up your hands (or tablet pen) and say, "You know what? I've done my best. Time to move on and try again!"
And try I will!
