Don't peak! (Artwork ) An expression study by me.
Hello guys π
How's the weekend going? Hope you all are having a wonderful time with your loved ones. How's my weekend going? Thanks for asking, As you can see I'm making a blog on hive. This is how my weekends usually end up haha. The question is "Am I having fun?" Yes hehe and I hope everyone is having a great time here as well. Yesterday I was digging through some of my old sketches and found this one. Felt bad because when I started to sketch it I had every intention to post it here and share with you guys. I suppose this one got buried under the mountain of other works I did recently. Well you have to finish what you started, right? So I decided to have fun with it, you know like a light practice doing expressions. That's all. I decided to name this one as Don't Peak because she is bathing and you are now staring at her hence her cold look xd. She looks angry, rightπ¬?
The Process...
As you can see, this is an expression study. The artwork is pretty basic. I concentrated mostly on the face here. Well, maybe I put some effort into painting her hair as well. Never painted a green haired girl before so I really wanted to see how it turns out.
I can give a tip to beginners here. The best way to control your paintings expression/ emotion is to paint eyebrows, eyes and mouth on seperate layer. Can't you do this in a single layer? Afcourse you can but the only problem is it won't be much flexible as painting them on seperate layers. I sincerely hope your drawing software supports liquify tool, without it we might have to depend on perspective and mesh form. It's doable but it's a hassle. Regardless, you can still master it over time if you don't have liquify available. So for this painting I did the same steps I mentioned here and moved the eye brows up, down sideways etc. It's fun to see how the painting becomes more alive once the emotions kick in. I started with a happy expression but later changed to a cold stare. Why? Because I haven't done this before. Same thing I did with the lips as well. Pulled it slightly inwards to vanish any smile left to amplify the cold stare. This is something that every artist should try once in a while. It's a fun experiment and who knows, maybe it will improve the painting was well.
As for the painting part. I found a reference image of a girl in a pond from Pinterest. Then I made a sketch on my book and again on Ibis app. I decided to paint her skin in orange. I decided to paint the eyes blue because of the complementing factor there. I experimented with the eyes a bit by adding some strokes of red and yellow in there. That seems to be working I think. I painted her hair brown at first but later changed to green because I really wanted to see green hair haha. I didn't rely on the reference image while painting the water here. Why? Overconfidence? No. Laziness? 100%. Why do I do this to myself xd? This was done because I had plans to add focus blur towards the face at the end so anything surrounding her didn't matter because the study was about expression afterall. Although I did paint some branches on here and there and applied moving blur in it as well. I didn't want to make the surrounding look that much empty so it has to be done. After that the painting was done and reddit for peaking in peakd π. But seriously though, don't do that in real life xd.
Tools used: Ibis paint, notebook and pencil
Duration: 4hrs

Oh~ I cant draw in one layer alone. It will be a total mess in my end ahha~ Yes, liquify tool is really a big help in the end process of the art.
Beautifully done! Plus points with the water reflection. π

Thanks jiji! Liquify is the best tool for mistake correction for sure. Didn't clip studio only added that feature recently!
Hmm not sure but I think liquify was there since π€
Is that right? Maybe I confused it with medibang I guess.
i love the expression on his face, he looks like he is looking at his prey hehe πΌπ
Hahahaha so true xd. Thanks for the reblog :)
You're so good with water! It looks awesome, the color and reflections are on point. And, nice work on the small changes to alter her expression ππ€
I'm currently playing a lot with water. Need to master the wave pattern. My next entry for the contest is based on it as well but in a more twisty way haha.
Thanks Ema π.
Twisty, eh? I'll be looking forward to seeing that one! Enjoy the rest of your weekend, Sol π
Maybe not twisty by spiral.
You have a great weekend as well Ema!
