I wonder if I could make the boot looked shabbier, but I guess this one will do.
The color palette is from an image of a rose garden which I converted to color palette in Procreate. I really like the color palette feature as it has been super helpful.
While I love the drawing, I struggled with the prompt. I didn’t want to make the wing too literal, but at the same time, I want it to convey the prompt itself. I decided to draw a child running with some kind of blanket, because who didn’t ran around with blanket at some point in our childhood, pretending we have wings or super cape, so we can be the savior of the day just for once?
The learning continues…
I’m starting to get a hang of Procreate. I’m yet to explore other features, but I’m really happy when I found out I can edit a brush to make it bigger in size. I really like the brush Tinderbox, and I’ve been using it for coloring because I love the texture. Problem is, Tinderbox is an inking brush, so the brush size is not super big and not super comfortable for coloring. I learned how to edit the brush to make it bigger in size so I can comfortably color my work.
In the timelapse video, I initially struggled with the background. I thought I could use airbrush, but I decided to not using it. I took a more “manual-look” approach, and use my regular style.
Or perhaps: “Winter Vacation”.
When I read the prompt, I remember the scene from Bram Stoker’s “Dracula” where Count Dracula shipped himself to London while he’s sleeping inside a trunk (?) filled with soil from his homeland. It’s pretty weird of me for remembering it, because I’m terrible with horror stories (I’m a scaredy cat.)
I wanted to make a more light-hearted version, thanks to “What We Do in the Shadows” and Leslie Nielsen’s “Dracula: Dead and Loving It”, so I made Count Dracula prepared for his winter vacation.
I just realized my lineart is thinner than usual, though. Oh well, it has been a pretty busy day as I had my weekend shifts today. I’m still happy with this one, though.
Not sure if “hermit crab” included in shell family, but I hope it is ? The girl in the drawing is actually my daughter. When looking for ideas, I remembered when we were in a family vacation in Langkawi. She crouched near a hermit crab, obviously interested, while the poor hermit crab tried to hide from her.
As much as I like this drawing, I feel something is seriously “off” from this drawing. I actually suspect my palette-creating ability. For this drawing, I created my own palette in Procreate, and it seems like I didn’t consider color value and hue, hence the weird coloring. It feels out of place and not coherent with the whole mood. An opportunity for me to learn more!
