screencap redraw from 'The Walk'
pretty dark episode, but i liked the muted gray colours at the beginning.
Also, starting to really get into this new shading style with block colours instead of smooth shading. Whenever i got into smooth shading, about two years ago, this style was always sort of the end game for me?? it's just taken a while for me to get round to actually doing it, but i'm glad i got into it later because i understand colour theory a lot more now, as well as how lighting actually
works. I feel like if I just rushed into this style before it would've just looked like a mess.
I drew Scully in June, and at the time, I really liked it, but my style has actually changed quite a bit since then and I think it's for the better? Here's the old one, tell me what you think
I think she definitely looks older bc the eyes are smaller, which is a plus, and the hair is better. I really struggled with the hair on the older one bc it's such an iconic part of Scully's look and i just couldn't get it quite right. In the most recent one i think it just looks more flowy and bouncy, whilst being a bit more stylized?
I do like the colours tho, love those soft blues and reddy-orange-pinks.
I think i went backwards on the nose? the nose in the older one just seems more realistic, i've lost that in the recent one.
I know the anatomy on both of them is a bit wack, tbh it's the weakest aspect of my art and i know it. I am working on it!!! promise!!! but idk what happened to scully's shoulders in the most recent drawing, i guess i was trying to draw her big suit (because her suits are
so big) and just didn't get them even looking.
also im
hollering i was looking through my old art for possible references and i found my first x files drawings from two years ago and they are so AWFUL
BOOOOYYYYYYYYYYYYYY
THE FIRST ONE ISNT
THAT BAD BC THE STYLE IS KIND OF CUTE BUT THE SECOND ONE???? SO STIFF??? UGLY AF SHADING WITH BLACK AND WHITE??? THOSE GUNS??? THOSE
H A N D S?????
WHY ARE THEIR FACES SHAPED LIKE THAT?????????????? WHERE IS THE LIGHT COMING FROM
who even raised me and why did they let me post my art online smh
see what i mean about how it might have just looked like a mess if i just straight into block colour and skipped smooth blending. i didnt know what i was doing
(still dont like but im vaguely more wise)
oh my god their shoes
i wouldn't even recognise myself if i went back two years who was i and why did i draw like that. i hope to god that was my ugly phase because i don't think it could've gotten any worse.
anyway!! happy halloween month!!
