Stone texturing

sakurahori — 2025-01-18 13:33:59 UTC

So with this I snatched a more level cracks based stone, although it’s brown I did figure out that it has a cool undertone, I used the brushes in procreate to first make a multiple, and an add layer of the same brush, and then started to get more specific with the shadows and light, to make the details.

Landscape Canyons(?)

So I decided to go with some canyons, I drew some “blobs” for the shape of the canyons, then some more for the clouds, and decided to put the horizon line almost around the middle of the canvas, but it’s blocked by the canyons. I mostly used orange, earthy t make it feel like it’s hot and warm, and made the sun look like it’s about to set y making the upper part of ten sky more orange which happens when the sun is about to s, then put some textures on the canyons, got carried away shading the clouds to make them look soft and fluffy and that’s pretty much it.

Cloth folds!!!

I decided to do both traditional and digital because why not, I like shading way too much for my own good. I decided to do do something simple for the traditional part, with silk and polyester, then decided to go with cotton and burlap, which was indeed very fun…so fun I took a bit too long to shade them. I mainly just used air brush to do both shadow and lights….*I like shading ok-* and I used multiply for the shadows with complimentary colors as usual and used screen for the itty bits of lights and finished it off with colored outlines as well, and called it a day, please I wanna shade more.

I decided to go with Hearthstone’s style, making the album cover into a hearthstone card, with the song names as the description, along with the card back as well,n

Axe + attendance

I decided to go for a blue ish steel, with some shadows and d,ight along the axe, and as well for the wood, is red wood, with a tiny bit of light as wood doenst reflect a lot, but still gets lightened up.

Pecsssss

Here we have, pecs, in muscle form, I was watching and following the steps along during class, and tried to make it look like muscles the best I could, avoided using lines to outline the pecs, and started with flats instead this time which, does feel new but very nice
