<sub> <center> **Hello! ❤️** </center></sub> Hi, aliens! Hope you have a good weekend. It is almost the weekday where I am from. Ugh, Mondays are always a struggle 🤣. Since I have nothing to do, I decided to practice my art skill. I am not really good at shading and proportions, and so I am just relying on YouTube tutorials. This year, I promise that I will get out of my comfort zone. I want to learn different art styles. As of the moment, I still cannot decide what should I go for. Sometimes I am feeling an art style, and then I will switch to a different one. That is why mastering one for me is difficult because I am indecisive lol 🤣. Right now, I am just playing around with different styles. --- # Sketch <div class="pull-left">  </div> First thing is to conceptualize the art. I was thinking of a short-haired girl wearing a tank top with a jacket. I put layered hair in front to make the hair look interesting. I also put a heart-shaped earring for her accessory. For the background, I am thinking of neon lights. It takes me a lot of time to make a concept, but thanks to images and references online, it is easier for me to find inspiration. For sketching, I always use a flat brush. ---- # Flat colors, shading <div class="pull-left">  </div> <div class="pull-right">  </div> I used neutral colors for this art. See, this is the struggle I have. I always use neutrals instead of experimenting colors. porbably because I think of the shading part that is why I stick to the easier ones. Next time, I will be more creative in color. I decided for the hair to be two-tone, black for the front and then ash gray for the rest. The tank top is dark brown and the jacket is an off-purple color. Okay, so shading is the part that I am really struggling. Perhaps I have to study anatomy to locate the muscles haha! *It is really hard to not have an art background. Hmm, lucky those who went to art school.* At this point, it is just references and imagination of the source of light. Yeah, I have a long way to go. --- <div class="pull-left">  </div> Now, I try to put the light source. I realized that the position of the light source is very important because it will dictate the shadows and highlight of the art. I put the light source on the hair shoulder, and noticeably on the eye. I like it when there is a glow in the eyes. The character is much more "alive" in my opinion. I dropped the heart earring because I want to emphasize the hair. I put some blue tints on the tips of the hair. Instead of earrings, I just put two necklaces. I just downloaded the brushes from Clip Studio Asset. --- # Final Art  For finishing touches, I added the details on the jacket. I was thinking of the corduroy texture but just thought of saving that idea for next time. On the sketch, I said that I will be putting neon lights, but yet again my indecisiveness strikes 🤣 I prefer a soft light of purple. Noticed that I added a string of light on the hair, hehe. A little shading and correction~ and tadaaa! Finished art! I had fun with this little exercise~ I will post more of my practice journey here on Hive 🥰 --- Software: Clip Studio Paint Pro That is it for this art blog.
