I became painfully aware that my visual library does not include very many objects from the top down
I am currently taking a class called Dungeons in Photoshop by Daniel Hasenbos on Skillshare. Even though his instruction is in Photoshop, he isn't doing anything so program specific that it cannot be done in Clip Studio Paint. I have been following his work for quite some Anna Sellershttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12038876423086955521noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35860932.post-41127041946576052222018-12-02T19:16:00.001-05:002018-12-02T19:37:12.254-05:00Let's Start a Conversation About Maps
Trist World Map Version 4? Version 5? I lost count.
One of the first things I had to do when we decided to reboot Trist was to get a usable world map that we could cut up and use in our story writing and campaigns. I had zero background in cartography, limited background in digital painting and (what I naively believed to be) a simple goal.

I am so surprised at how much this changes my attitude towards my art. I have been using primarily the Handy application for my studies. This handy art tool has been a game changer for me.

I have the hardest time with the far side of a 3/4 view portrait. My brain doesn't want to compute what is happening on that side. I have been following along with the 3/4 view tutorial on How to Draw Comics and can reasonably get a head together, but when I take what I learn to a reference it all falls apart. The solution is practice. So I practice.. a lot.

There is an evil villain in my head. Lots of people have one. Artists call it the Art Critic. Writers call it the writers critic. Some refer to this person as an inner critic. Mine likes to refer to my age a lot. I am too old to get started as an illustrator. I am too old to be drawing these themes. I am too old to get anywhere meaningful with my art. I am too old to write this genre.

I am really pleased with what I got done today. I am still fiddling with the face a lot. I love that hilt on the sword. This is going to be a lot of work, but I love getting lost in all of the shapes and angles. The goal is to understand how to keep a focal point without compromising details. #workinprogress #oilpainting #mastercopy #artemisiagentileschi #judithandhermaidservant #art #artist #badasswomen
