ART – Supergirl Color Study
Painted using the Android Sketchbook Pro App on my Wacom Cintiq Hybrid. It was a different experience than doing these studies in Photoshop.
I don’t like how it turned out all that much. I think it was the brush I was using. At first I wanted one with texture and bristles. But it turned out to be too “rough.”
The study could only be exported at a low resolution as well, which is something I don’t like about the Sketchbook Pro App. Otherwise it’s a great App. I think next time I’ll try using a more Photoshop like digital brush.
This time around I learned I needed to practice skin in bright light a lot more. I also need to watch my proportions when doing these studies.
I was trying to do that multiple colors within one value thing I wrote about last week. Especially on the torso where there was a lot of skin. My version turned out darker than the source material version. I need to do a better job of picking the correct colors next time.
Also I need to make sure I’m simplifying what I’m painting into much simpler shapes so I don’t get lost in the details.
Because of the Holidays (Christmas) it was a bit harder to get more than one color study done. I really need more practice though.
