So it’s not hot anymore

ha nice! Familiarity brings out warmth, I think.

I strayed away from the reference image a little bit, I wanted a bit of typical Eastern look.

I saw your posts, especially Sam L.J portraits, made me envious actually, cool work.

yeah, in a sea of AI garbage, I like to see people do something just for the pleasure of doing it. that’s why I participate.

that’s a high praise, lol. I’m getting there though

thank you!

where? in the snowy part? it wasn’t deliberate, lol.

yes, absolutely. I need to build patience for landscapes where a lot is going on. Each part is effecting other but still an individual thing so their relationship gets tricky for me. Happy to hear your feedback. I appreciate it!

thank you!

haha, no. It’s just lack of commitment, I wasn’t sure where I wanted to keep the focus so everything came haphazardly. When I see finished art pieces on the web, artists usually mention the time they spent on it. It’s like 10, 12 hours sometimes. I sort of give up after 2 hours. Very rarely I paint for 3 to 4 hours and difference is noticeable in those pieces.

lol, not like Van Gogh, poor soul had been dealt with a very difficult life.

I agree with you assessment. Consistency in detail is an issue here. I changed my mind few times while painting it, whether to make the details loose or closely knit.

Thank you!

Thank you for nice words. I look forward to more feedback as I share my future drawings here.

Oh, I just looked and yes it’s probably that. I didn’t completely follow the reference picture but that church building looks like it’s from Lauterbrunnen.

She forgot to mention the rape actually.

Thank you, that’s nice!

well, I use Krita and I only rely on default brushes. I use one with a bit of smear effect. I usually draw on a single layer and I paint in a fidgety manner, which means I am constantly making mistakes and fixing them. I peeked at your profile, you are damn talented yourself! kudos!

You will likely become way better than I if you are doing it at a young age. I started very late.
