@overrated Nice to see some traditional stuff for once. Are those acrylics with a dash of oil crayons? Hard to tell precise medium by a picture and I'm curious

*Or maybe I am just seeing some still wet paint*

Its actually watercolor with gouache

Ohhh I've never used gouache

mostly cause lil more expensive

Its white gouache

For highlights and stuff?

Titanium white

For mixing thicker paint and for highlights yes

Ah that's nice

I'd like to get back into painting when I have my own space again

If you search up nathan fowkes you can get a better understanding of it

And james gurney

Been stuck with digital art since I really only have the space of my bed and the cupboards above, not enough room for anything traditional except a few sketchbooks and pens.

oooh I see. The latter sounds familiar for some reason

For digital search up marco bucci

Hes good with dogital teaching

His stuff is pretty cute

I think my favorite artist is Brian Froud tbh

I'm a sucker for fantasy

Ya his stuff has a very art renisance look

He's one of the main artists behind labyrinth/dark crystal

But everything starts with drawing

He made the puppets and stuff for those

I love pen work tbh

Really he did dark crystal?

Thats cool

Richard A. Kirk is another favorite, illustrated one of my favorite b ooks

Yeah, Jim Henson gets a lot of credit but the style was mostly driven by Froud

I like Henson too though

Pen is still drawing

ya I know

I like doing pen drawings with no pencils

It can be close to painting tho

Have to get creative with mistakes

I should draw more often tbh, off of digital

I feel like I learn more when drawing on paper

Honestly learn perspective and drawing boxes helped alot

Perspective is fun. I'm pretty good with it on forms but I need work on my landscapes/backgrounds
