Description REFERENCE: [link]

Daily Doodle 3) 18.01.2009

This little bugger's colours amaze me
And i actually had problems with his pose; still needs some fixing, but if you don't see the problem, that's all right

In the reference he had only 5 legs so i added an extra one on the right.

And as you can see, i used a different brush. So yeah! ยขmynti !!! I really wanna hear what you have to say on this one

I tried going for a more smooth look

The fact that this isn't a photograph astounds me . This is not only a gorgeous insect but a true show of skill and dedication to one's work. Brilliant!

thank you very much!

this was my first time doing something with the hard brush so it's not really my best...the other insects are better
but yes, it's a really cute bug

Those types of beetles are my favorite, a whole bunch walking around on your arm is a great afternoon First tries ftw.

Niiice, I knew it was your brush! The lines look much cleaner and crisper now Don't be afraid of the scribble, it is your best friend.

woot on the shadow this time... makes a big difference huh

Overall well done.. I can see improvement from your first bug! It's okay if it's not perfect right away.. yer gonna be drawin' like crazy in no time with dailydoodles

BlackDelphin In reply to mynti [2009-01-19 12:46:19 +0000 UTC]

tehehe it seems it was but this brush even on 100% hardness seems hard to use..i'm not used to it at all right now; but i guess i have to

yeah i made sure to have a layer underneath and it came up nicely when i started the airbrushing

i hope so
i'm curious how today's DD will look

mynti In reply to BlackDelphin [2009-01-20 02:02:46 +0000 UTC]

Are you kidding? It may be harder to blend, but your work looks much crisper and neater now. You've got more form and depth, too. Hey, are you colorpickin? If so, try without. Your colors might be more natural and varied, too.

Anyhow I use the basic round brush most of the time It just takes some getting used to, the pressure sensitivity, to get the blending faster.

๐Ÿ‘: 0 โฉ: 1

BlackDelphin In reply to mynti [2009-01-20 09:32:17 +0000 UTC]

i'm starting to feel the crispiness
thanks!
and i colour picked once or twice, but yeah i did change the colours a bit to my liking...more orangy and stuff
but i'm not gonna colour pick now that i'm used to the brush this way..it was my first back then so i got nervous and colour picked to give myself courage

yeah, the pressure's the one you gotta get down

mynti In reply to BlackDelphin [2009-01-21 20:37:18 +0000 UTC]

Haha You will rock that brush in no time... and then after, try new brushes. Making your own brushes is the best, after you get the hang of painting with that one, because by making it, you understand 100% how it works. I still mostly use the hard edge brush though, I found after lots of experimenting that it actually offers the most control when you want to make your own marks

You are learning quickly

BlackDelphin In reply to mynti [2009-01-21 20:59:01 +0000 UTC]

at "try new brushes" i was today!! combining actually
i like playing around with settings...i feel a lot more comfortable around those now and i think the custom ones are all i need now
perhaps at a specific drawing i'll make a custom, but right now i feel no need (obviously lol)

thank you
just hope i can keep the learning and growing process going!!
