While I do my studies I can get the colors right, pick good contrasts and values. But then I start rendering an actual piece and I just fall straight into my old habits?!... I shaded green with darker green, have non consistent lighting and it just looks flat and boring ๐Ÿ˜’ (except the shorts tho ๐Ÿ‘Œ)

Base colors down, I started rendering it and now I fear I might not be able to do it justice.. I set myself up with too high expectations ๐Ÿ˜–๐Ÿฅบ The sketch was too good, now I canโ€™t finish it (maybe) ๐Ÿ˜ญ Iโ€™ll take a break and come back to it ๐Ÿ™ˆ

Sooo happy with this one already, it looks exactly how i wanted it to ๐Ÿ˜ญ๐Ÿฅน Been inspired by getting back into playing The Isle and Prehistoric Kingdom again ๐Ÿ˜ (Yes I absolutely love dinosaurs ๐Ÿฆ–๐Ÿฆ•) #AnimeArt #OC

A sketch in anime style of a happy girl, sheโ€™s wearing a hoodie and shorts with dinosaur inspired details, and has a lizard like tail.

I am speechlessโ€ฆ I think I finally unlocked my understanding of rendering colors! The key? A freaking bell pepper ๐Ÿซ‘โ€ฆ I was staring at my drawing in pure disbelief the whole time I was rendering it. I still cannot believe it. Itโ€™s the first time Iโ€™ve picked the right colors myself. And understanding.

I miss drawing because I felt like it. The time where I didnโ€™t worry about posting my art. Not fearing how itโ€™d be picked apart to see if it could be AI, not being criticized for my workflow, not being distrusted because my style changed all the time because I loved exploringโ€ฆI wish I could go back
