Clouded Grassland Background

It’s strange going back to Corel Painter. One of the things that Corel Painter just can’t do as well as Krita is the blender. But being able to work with only one brush is amazing.

This background will be for a future piece. I wonder if any of you know what scene I’m depicting. I’m currently re-reading the series so I can have a better experience with the newer chapters.

I’m still not too conviced with the clouds so I might retouch them at a later date. Currently I’m working on the subjects, there are a couple of them so it’s taking a while for the rough drafts.

Sprite Lightning background

This year I learned about lightning sprites and found them to be quite pretty and surreal. It also reminds me a lot about Evangelion. Don’t know what I will do with this, perhaps nothing but practice. We’ll see.

Today I was working with the pen and tablet settings and things seem to be working much better now. I should have installed the XP drivers a while ago. Playing with the pressure and opacity seems to be more responsive in the way I have been craving. I’ll have to try out more scenes and subjects. It’s taking me a while but Krita is pretty good. I just have to approach things a bit differently.

Looking Back Iori Yagami Rough I

For now here is a quick rough draft of a future painting of Iori Yagami. I feel like i need to push the pose a bit more and make it more dynamic. I also want to add more people to the background to make it more interesting.

Momochi in the Beach RE:do

I originally tried painting this drawing back in 2020. To keep with the theme of the original attempt, I decided to go with a flat style. Though it would have been interesting to try it with my current style.

I was quite content with the simpler painting but I wanted to add in some lighting to really emphasize that summer vibe.

Original attempt in 2020:

Rei Ayanami grass nap RE:do

I was hoping to edit this painting a bit more after giving it some weeks till I got back to it. But due to certain things going on I think this will have to do. Perhaps in a couple of months or years I’ll come back to it. Having said that, overall it captures what I was intending to do.

Aside from the lighting, I also redid the grass and made some edits to
Rei’s proportions and repainted some of her facial features.

Fiona Frost Trenchcoat Line Art

I wasn’t too happy with the way I drew Fiona last year so I decided to give it another try. I edited a couple of things and personally feel she looks much better.

Momoko Tsugunaga Krita

In order to continue to test out Krita I decided to do a study of Momochi using one of her photos from her digital photobook vol. 77. I was at first using a really scuffed reference photo until I remembered to search for a high quality version.

The oil brush is still not quite there yet but the blender tool is the best I’ve tried so far. I just wish I had the ability of using the sargent brush in Krita. I really miss it.

Hasta la proxima,
