Good morning lemmyyyyyy!

Not sure why but I'm really missing this man right now.

Didn't finish the first season. But I'm going to give it another go.

It's been too long for me to know for sure. Could have been my wife wasn't into it and at the time if I didn't watch stuff with her I didn't watch stuff at all. Now she has a few hobbies so I have a little time to watch stuff where I'm not doing other things so I'll give it another go.

I've been thinking of giving it another go. I'll add it to my list now before I forget.

 

Love Rami Malik. I've never been able to get through the show but I love his character in it.

Used the old workflow for this which is just copying from the source. It's more like paint by numbers without the numbers. Cathartic for me.

Oh that makes sense!

I only know of one place in Northern Colorado, so unless you're lucky enough to live here...?

Though I imagine colleges with art classes might have a need. I've not done one of those so no idea.

Um... I'm confused... What?

[–] BallShapedMan@lemmy.world 2 points 5 days ago

Oh I see what you mean. That's totally what I did with the pencil. I'll keep an eye on that next time!

The book Lies My Teacher Told Me by James W. Loewen goes a long way to accomplish this. At least it did for me.

Thank you! And help me see what you mean about the square stroke and so on.

As for the scatter brush I used a pencil brush and lightly shaded to try and give the illusion of detail without painting every single branch. Without zooming in it feels like I did that to me but I'm also the one painting it. Still trying to figure out how to paint trees.... They're so hard.

 

Same source image. This was the first "real" thing from reference I tried to paint since the mid 90s. I figured after a year I'd try again and see how I've progressed. What do you think?

The 2024 version

I took these after painting, my mom took a bunch too. She's a huge photo nerd, I'm just trying to keep up.

My mom and a friend went painting with me. We had a blast! I'm much happier with this result than the last one. I still need to get better at trees but I'm getting there.

Silksong is an epic game! I couldn't get into the first game for whatever reason but I just can't get enough this time around. After I beat it I'm going back to the first one and give it a go again.

I use a transparent card to help me with box measurements that has little black lines. The models dress was black with a black background. I winged it and failed completely.

Silksong is my current addiction.

 

When you suffer from kyklophobia but you try to overcome it in the coolest way possible!

I didn't mean to make her look afraid, oops.

Used a skydiving reference for this. I think it turned out pretty good.

 

Looks like I'm trying to paint Jack, I still need a lot more practice to be happy with my results.

I didn't think it looks anything like him. Painted this a few weeks ago.
