@Addy: i think i'll do the background first.
just the usual hair I normally do which is straight hair
just...doesn't feel like its a good fit for her.

So decided I'll focus on the background since it'll take me the longest.

@xvz: Maybe once she has some hair
and the background doesn't look so terrible. :vanora_sweat:

It probably will not turn out super great as this is my first time painting.
I've studied painting for 2 years on my own
but never actually did it until now.

@Ariella74: Hello and Welcome!

@ChiffonOrange: Just need to make some new sticker designs
to test it out. But i have a tote bag/t-shirt design to try out.

@xvz: The face came out really well. Especially the lips.
I still need to work on her nose and the whole background.
I haven't decided her hair style either. lol.

So much is undecided but for the small progress it's been very fun and interesting.

Yeah. Acrylic gouache crazy expensive.
But it piques my interest the most as I'm not for watercolors.

@xvz: Digital.
I'd love to do gouache paintings but i can't afford supplies currently. :vanora_sweat:

@ChiffonOrange: Yup. Though got some useful advice from an artist I admire
so might try some things out.

@Jolly: For real. I got so bored of just doing flats.
And I always have urge to PAINT. so without thinking I just did it.
and I honestly am so glad i stopped thinking enough to do it because it's turning out to something
I am going to be very proud of.

@ChiffonOrange: Yeah. One day they'll sell.
I have not been very good with marketing my products yet.

But I'll probably do that when I make a new design.

I painted semi-realistic for the first time ever.
It's not complete but her face looks really good.
Or at least to me it does.

I just didn't think and started as often times that stops me is not knowing fundamentals well enough.
But i just did it and I am happy with it.
Now i just need to figure out her hair lol.

Just makes me want to make more.

@ChiffonOrange: I also have lots of fun doing busts
cause I've been making stickers that way with them.

When you do just let me know and I can send you a key. :vanora_icon:

@ChiffonOrange: But maybe soon it'll get easier for me.
doing commissions lol.
Busts are just my only thing that i can do quick enough.

It's very useful. It's how i got access to mine.
Though soon i should post links for pillowfort.
So people get access to it.

@ChiffonOrange: yeah that's probably why it's so hard for me.
Cause my visual library is not very vast with poses.

Voltra does have a pillowfort thread and people give out their keys
for users to use and register with.
So that could be an option.

Yeah twitter seems like the only option at this point.
I don't do NSFW art so I'm not 100% sure but it's just from the things I've heard on twitter.

@ChiffonOrange: I think i just dislike half bodies because
i feel there is so little to do with them.
and I do those for online commissions and they just feel draining. :vanora_sweat:

Yeah twitter might be your only bet with NSFW work.
Or pillowfort but that requires a key usually since it's still in Beta.

@ChiffonOrange: It just means it's something that needs practice. :vanora_icon:

Half bodies I am oddly terrible at.
But full bodies I am like "Oh heck yeah! Love them."
But half bodies just feel more difficult for me.
I've been contemplating to take the half body option off when i reopen artshop.

For NSFW i have no clue.
Maybe DA? but i don't think many places are NSFW friendly anymore.
