I knew the blotches were going to give me hell if I painted them alone so I am experimenting with a few textures. I kept trying to figure out the size and placement of the blotches but could not get a good idea of what I wanted. I am going to use some low rez textures just get a feel for what I want but morph them enough to be completely diff...

The lighting is giving me a hard time. I thought I would move on to another project or perhaps start over but I am sticking with it I think. I am just going to have to really pace myself with this project.
Critiques would be super helpful. let me know what you think about the lighting, or overall look.
tried to block in the color as quick as I could to get a feel for space. I am still having a little trouble getting the shading to look like its actually outside so I have been trying different stuff with some multiply layers you could see in the TIFF's. this is harsh sunlight lighting I am not really used to so wish me luck.
Let me know wha...
experimenting with a dry pastel brush. Am hoping that the under sketch will make texturing a little easier as well as give me a guide for the spots, as I have always struggled with fur patterns like this
Would love any thoughts!
I changed the perspective so it looks even more foreshortened. I am also experimenting with cross hatching with this sketch not only to try something new but to also figure out how lighting really works at this angle.

I very rough sketch that I have been working on for hours. this is really just meant for me to zoom out and get a feel for the perspective and if it even makes sense. feels like I am going to take a bit on the sketch for this one.
Any critiques and such are super helpful!tell me if anything looks off.
Almost lost this one do to a saving mishap. spent some time having to redraw some stuff but I was lucky that my G drive saved a backup!
Any way Do y'all like this style so far? let me know. not really trying to mimic a photo with this style and instead trying to make the image look a little more natural. I am using some dry medium and ...
2017-04-23 22:29:11 +0000 UTC View PostA question for my current patrons, one that I have been meaning to ask because it has been gnawing on me for a while. The question is, if patrons of the 5$ tier are happy with the rate of new images per month. I have been taking it slow as of late do to various circumstances and I am worried that I am not providing what my current patrons are looki...

I while ago I was critiqued that my colors were a little too flat and there was little variation in warmness and coolness and other such color related stuffs. Suppose it was because I was focusing on photo-ishness and useing some fancy brushes to speed up the process of making all those little hairs. I was focusing on texture too much and not on va...

Been spending some time watching some short courses online on how to draw animals and fur among other things. I am not familiar with this sort of line work but really wanted to give it a try as I wanted to teach myself how to look at fur of this length as simplified shapes as to really understand structure and junk. Going to try some new stuff with...

Spent some time getting the shape down. Now I am going to try and render the fur with some contour lines.

I was planing on just working on a bust for this pin up, but I thought that I would be missing on the subjects interesting black leggings.
I am going to spend much more time on this projects line work, this time making the sketch on two layers. one with the general shape and the other with the outline and negative spaces of all the fur.
...
I am planing to work on a bust. I am choosing a maned wolf as the subject.
Just going to be a chest and head but I plan on putting a little more detail into this one.
Going to finish this one here. I so wanted to give more detail but I am not learning or getting any better by lingering and doing teeny things here and there. this was supposed to be a collection of much more simple pinups anyway!
let me know what you think.
This will be the last WIP before I finish this image.
I want to refine everything a little more and draw a little more fur on the jackle
This project has taken a while. even though I enjoy the subjects, I just have been a little intimidated with it. I spend most of the time with the project on another screen trying to figure out why some things are not too my liking or why something looks off instead of actually working with it hoping that I get some sort of epiphany. I just hope th...

Not using any fancy brushes for this one. just a handy chalk brush. the first image is proving a little difficult, are at least difficult to get the image to look how I want it to. It feels like I have the values some what right but the fuzzy fur texture is hard to nail down with out fancy brushes. May or may not use simple modified or painted text...

The stream is free for everyone to watch.
I am back to using my old deviant art page to post my work if anyone wants to check it out.

Do to a slew of fraudulent and declined pledges at the end of last month, I changed the method of payment to upfront. any new patrons that make a pledge will be charged as soon as said pledge is made.
Thank you!

Here are the sketches! I am thinking of working on one at a time starting with the background than moving on to the subject to get a better idea of space and value.
I will be streaming the process of the project on picarto for everyone to see
Let me know what you think!
