Digital to Acrylic Dragon Painting progress and live streaming on Instagram
I'm currently in the process of doing an acrylic painting of my digital dragon head that I posted last week.
I did the first color pass using Burnt Sienna to lay down the shapes, highlights and shadows. This is like an advanced sketch, building on the pencil line-work I had drawn out onto the board.
Since the feel of the painting is quite warm the Burnt Sienna helps to get rid of the white of the primer. If I want any white highlights later I'll add them in at the end when the painting is done.
The next color layer I did was to bring in the purpley grey which makes up a large part of the painting. I'm still building up shapes layer by layer, laying down a pass of color instead of getting caught up in details.
There is a fire casting light underneath the dragon's chin so that area will be the brightest. It will have a lot of detail on the transition area of the light into shadow.
The painting is 40cmx 60 cm acrylic on masonite.
I'm live streaming my painting sessions at night on my Instagram profile, Usually between 20:30 and 23:00 UTC+02:00
