"A Hopeless Dream Chaser"
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:

This will be the background for a RE:do of a past painting that I did years ago.

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.

I guess I had lost the brush that I remembered trying out weeks ago. This one isn’t lagging like the other smeary brush. I ended up editing the brush a bit and removed the texture it was using. I’ll be modifying it as I use it throughout the year. Next test is when I paint the main subject.

I’m currently trying to learn how to use Krita. This painting was done with nothing but the default brushes. None of them worked like the one’s in Corel Painter so it felt a bit uncomfortable. Luckily, I recently found brushes that work with my style.

I thought I was done last month but I’m glad I waited to upload because I ended up working on it and making a good number of changes throughout this last week.
It’s been a while since I last played the game but it definitely left a great impression. The gravity dynamic was really fun to play with.

I was hoping to upload it on the 23rd but sadly things didn’t work out. This will mark the last Summer painting of 2025. Now I’m planning to do some Autumn paintings and also do Inktober again this year.

It’s essentially the end of summer today and tomorrow so I’ll be posting both the background today and hopefully the finished painting tomorrow if all goes well.

Background for a future painting. For some reason I had some fond memories return to me which led to the creation of the idea for this whole piece.

Don’t know if I will use this painting as a background later down the line but I just felt like painting a cloud like this. Thinking about it now I didn’t really struggle much like the past attempts.

Today was a day… Don’t feel like writing much today.
