EARLY ACCESS // chair lines
Added 2023-02-03 13:59:22 +0000 UTCHello lovely patrons! Thanks to everyone who stuck around for yet another month, and welcome new Patrons! I’m working on editing this month’s tutorial which will be done next week, so keep an eye out for that! For now, here’s the first art post of the month ~
I took one of my sketches from last month’s sketch session and finalized it in Photoshop! The sketch is loosely based on this fantastic editoral photo by Steven Meisel.
It has been so soothing to just focus on lines and pick away at the smaller details. I tend to struggle with details because I go from sketch to painting and usually delay detailing until the end of the process. When I’m just working with lines it feels a lot more fun to push the detail and I think the result is quite refreshing!
I’m very stuck on how to proceed from here though. If I used my normal workflow, I’d be painting over a lot of the lines at a later stage, and I just don’t want to do that this time! I want to keep the lines intact. I have a bunch of different color setups but I’m not really feeling any of these:
What do you think about them? I feel like they are too brown and too faded. I’m going to have to try out some different approaches before I find something that works for this. For now, I hope you like the linework!
Comments
I love this sketch.

2023-04-13 15:17:00 +0000 UTCthanks so much! i am feeling drawn to similar themes and colors that I used to draw in around 2012-2013. nostalgia is hitting me hard these days!

2023-02-23 12:15:47 +0000 UTCThis composition and the brown colors really remind me of some of your old pieces (back from 2014-2015 ? I don’t clearly remember haha). Love it ! Also, love the lighting on the second one (top right) but also really like the vibrant colors on your lineart in the third one (bottom left) :D

2023-02-23 10:36:36 +0000 UTCI should have probably said Borderlands is a video game ( you probably know that already😅, but just in case😅😅)

2023-02-08 11:02:03 +0000 UTCohh that's definitely an interesting twist!
Loish
2023-02-08 10:56:59 +0000 UTCohh thanks for the tip! I'm gonna take a good look at their style.
Loish
2023-02-08 10:56:33 +0000 UTCthank you!
Loish
2023-02-08 10:56:20 +0000 UTCthank you so much!
Loish
2023-02-08 10:56:11 +0000 UTCThey're so beautiful Loish!

2023-02-07 23:31:48 +0000 UTCSo cool! Beautiful work.

2023-02-07 20:22:30 +0000 UTCMy new favorite! ^^

2023-02-07 17:21:49 +0000 UTCI'm really in love with the line work you've done on this piece!!
Leslie
2023-02-06 19:58:48 +0000 UTCI’m getting Borderlands vibes from these and could see those type of colours working really well with your lines ( I’m new to art and digital art, so I may be completely off track 😂)
Heidi Louise
2023-02-06 19:58:00 +0000 UTCI love this piece already!! Maybe something a bit more pop-like to go with those "comic" lines? With more vivid colors like pink, or lime green or electric blue?

2023-02-06 19:19:38 +0000 UTCI vibe with the red one. With the tubes, it creates an organ feel that intriguingly ‘alive’ lol. It actually looks quite a bit like the heart to me, which might be fun to embrace. I know you’ve been wanting to dive into more organic feeling work lately.

2023-02-06 16:06:14 +0000 UTCthanks annie!
Loish
2023-02-06 08:30:25 +0000 UTCthat is a good idea. changing the color uniformly causes some areas to really fall away!
Loish
2023-02-06 08:29:53 +0000 UTCyes I was thinking the same as I posted this! I'm going to give it a shot.
Loish
2023-02-06 08:26:54 +0000 UTCyes, I'm thinking of making one more setup with more blue tones in it!
Loish
2023-02-06 08:26:13 +0000 UTChaha I'm glad! I want my patrons to feel like the most important followers I have!
Loish
2023-02-06 08:24:26 +0000 UTCI'm not going to lie, I do feel all cool to see your work early, and then be like "I SAW THAT" while seeing it again publically. Such a nice experience! Oh, and about the options, I do like the bottom left color palette.

2023-02-06 00:05:34 +0000 UTCPersonally I really like the ones on the right side. I am really curious of your approach and can't wait to see the end result!

2023-02-04 06:26:51 +0000 UTCMy brain was like hmm maybe like a pale sage green or a muted slate blue. But overall I love this imagery. How I frequently sit around lol.

2023-02-04 05:46:08 +0000 UTCIncredible! I’m in love with the lineart! And bottom right‘s my fav, followed by top left. For my taste I miss a stronger contrast at top left 🤔 … not that I‘d ever dare to draw strong contrasts in my artworks - I I wish I would! That’s smth I also admire about some of your artworks - maybe it fits in here too?
Su Ehlers
2023-02-03 22:18:30 +0000 UTCA cyberpunk color scheme involving neons or the old scifi horror (greys, blacks, blues, and greens like Alien) might be a good direction?
Amber
2023-02-03 20:38:55 +0000 UTCI love these! I think where I’m seeing a bit of issue is perhaps the lack of contrast around her face? Regardless, these are awesome! I love the dark background with light coming from above; makes it a bit spooky!
Clarissa
2023-02-03 16:28:46 +0000 UTCThese are looking great! Such a cool style :) I'm digging the bottom right as well, that pop of pink on the watch really stands out nicely. Which, I'm not sure you were wanting that to be a focal point or not, but it works!
Kat Craig
2023-02-03 16:18:20 +0000 UTCReally love the colors in the bottom left - the spontaneous pops of saturated pinks make me very curious to see how you would use it while "sculpting with color".

2023-02-03 15:26:05 +0000 UTCThe first one works the best for me
Christian Müller
2023-02-03 15:21:12 +0000 UTCDefinitely top right is my favorite !
Lisa Cavazza
2023-02-03 15:02:58 +0000 UTCReally cool to see how you edited the line work and really make things pop and flow. I wonder if you changed the color of the line work in different areas instead of having them be one unifying color like usual, you might be able to get more variation. Just throwing ideas out
Zakiya I Mason
2023-02-03 15:01:30 +0000 UTCIt looks really cool! Definitely the bottom right one fits the lineart so much better 👏🏻✨
Genesis
2023-02-03 14:28:16 +0000 UTCI was just gonna comment the same thing. Bottom right definitely complements the line art imo.
KYRAT
2023-02-03 14:19:41 +0000 UTCWow! Super nice! About the colors, I could imagine some blue/pink reflections from a TV in front of her.
Ela Bello
2023-02-03 14:14:46 +0000 UTCThe girl has a strong personality love it ! I agree with Mrs Annie and add some green contrast to the futuristic vibe 🤩
Karla Chimal
2023-02-03 14:13:23 +0000 UTCI really love the linework! I like the last color scheme (bottom right), I think it fits the lineart really well.
Lauren Nicole
2023-02-03 14:12:48 +0000 UTCI would definitly keep the heavy blacks. That's what really makes this interesting! Also the vivid orange/red is always amazing in your work! Some green to contrast and add to the futuristic vibe and there you have it! 😋
Mrs. Annie Mation
2023-02-03 14:07:04 +0000 UTCTHESE ARE AMAZING!! Also i think the two color setups on the right are really cool, especially the bottom right one
