Reptilian Rider Revisited - Phase 2steemCreated with Sketch.

in #art7 years ago

So I had some time after work this evening to work a little more on this traditional piece. I used acrylic burnt umber to start my under painting. I am really trying to take my time with this one.

One thing I have learned in taking my time is to allow some white to shine through the underpainting. I like the way it looks and it helps to indicate where highlights could end up.

I still have a ways to go, but so far I am happy with it. Taking my time will hopefully pay off.

Yes, take your time! That lizard is gonna come out so nice.

Thanks, that's the plan! Take my time and make each stroke deliberate.

And fix it digitally if something goes terribly wrong?

Maybe... but i plan on using oils and that can actually be very forgiving.

Oh, that's right. Good luck!

Thats one nice reptile, I like it

This is absolutely beautiful
I wish I was as talented as you

Thank you. Thats very kind of you to say. But I used to be terrible at this stuff. It just takes practice! There is nothing stopping you from surpassing me. Really!

Really?
I might start putting the effort in then.
Work like this is beautiful and I envy their abilities haha

Do it. Just start by doing 1 doodle a day. I personally spent 2 hours everyday drawing and painting for 5 years. This was one of the first things i drew.

I've grown a lot and it was just practice. This drawing was from 2012 i think.
