Since doing that cover last year, I’ve been slacking off on drawing and painting practice. Trying to remedy that. Here’s my go at an exercise from Concept Cookie. Painted in Krita.
Category: Digital Paint
When I first published Creepspace: The Witch Game, I also did the cover art and, at the time, it was the best I could do. But that cover didn’t entice the right age group (ages 8 – 12). It did seem to appeal to kids in the 4 – 6 age range, but they’re too young for the book.
I’m trying to work on values a bit with this practice piece. It obviously has a long way to go before it has a chance of looking like anything. This will be in color once it’s done. Gimp 2.8.
Heh. See what I did there? Ahem. But seriously, I really need to learn how to paint metal surfaces properly. Not there yet. But, hey, first post of the new year! 🙂
I gave MyPaint a spin tonight with only a little assist from Gimp.
