I am not sure if I should post all the crap I come up with. I am not too happy with cave walls. I learned better way to do change to shadows but didn’t want to do wall again because even that doesn’t work as well as want. Maybe I shouldn’t check Mike Mignola’s art books mid drawing something. It made me think that dark brown part should have been black. Maybe middle brown too. Maybe next time. Or some other time in future.
Not sure if I should have added shapes with black lines. Previously I have had mostly solid colors. I last picture I found a way to add shapes with colors. This time I used it with more aggressive settings. Now I don’t feel adding shapes with black lines on top of it works. Next time need think of shapes before coloring. With solid colors I could add shaping lines last. With this brush it doesn’t work. Not going back to all solid colors. Solid colors look too much like MS Paint. This is more artistic and expressive.
I got idea for this from figure drawing course exercise. If I draw more muscular characters in future it is because I finally reached muscles section. Skeleton section was quite hard to go through. Now it should be more fun. Original idea was to make this more alien but I went for more earthly tones. Further I went more earth like it became. Previous ones I have done on one sitting. This took three evenings. Not because it took long time to draw but because I wasn’t sure how to do this and had to have breaks to figure it out.
