Description
This is my contribution to an art trade withLunaire is her Night Elf Rogue, and for this drawing, I decided to go a different route from my usual drawing process. I bypassed doing any pencil sketches and instead worked almost entirely on my laptop. I’m fortunate that my laptop has a built-in Wacom screen on the display and it’s something I really need to take advantage of more often.
So basically, I wanted to do this in a somewhat sketchy painterly style, and the results are hit and miss, mostly miss. There’s so many things wrong with this drawing, but I won’t go into them, although I’m ok with the way it turned out. Chalk it up as another learning experience!

Thank you so much for the feedback! It's pretty different in style and tone from what I usually draw, so I wasn't sure how it would be received. I'm glad to know that some people like it!

I think it's lovely! I really like the new technique you' re using. I love the way you've created depth on the left hand side to show the forest receding. Nice work!

It's kind of a fun way to draw/paint, and reminds me of traditional painting. It's not very forgiving if you make a mistake, though. I will definitely keep practicing at it!
Thanks for the feedback and, as always, thank you for the !

Thanks, the drawing has a lot of flaws, but it could've been worse, and it was good practice!

I love the way you color. This is so pretty. Looks like you painted it by hand, with real paints. I wish I had a laptop with that built-in Wacom. I'd do so much more artwork if I had that. *jealous*

In a previous life, I used to do a lot of acrylic painting on canvas. The funny thing is that the digital paintings I do now look a lot like my old paintings.
My laptop is pretty neat, but it's quite slow by today's standards, and has far too little memory, so I'm stuck doing smaller drawings if I want to do anything beyond line art with it. I'm still going to look into getting a regular Wacom tablet this year, but I've heard many mixed reviews about the current models.

Hmmm. Couldn't tell you about current models. Technically, the tablet I have isn't a Wacom, but it was recommended by the college I was going to at the time I purchased it, saying it was just as good as a Wacom. So I don't know.
I don't even know the brand name of mine anymore. XD lmao.
Your digital paintings are beautiful, though. They really are. I just love them. Are any of your old acrylic paintings up on dA here?

Nope, my old paintings were quite large in large (like 4x8 feet or bigger). Back then, we didn't have an easy way to get digital images made of art work that size, lol. They're sitting somewhere in storage, rotting away, rofl.

Yeah he did! He liked the original sketch as well, and as Lunaire is symbolic or him in my comic, he is thrilled
