| 1:07a | Air Brush Tried using the shading wash on the larger toll. The shader liquid didn't spread well. So now I have to fix it somehow. Usually I go from darker to light colors. Like in pixelart. But the troll is from tutorial set. Guess one had to mix the required colors. I.e. the set came with purple, which mixes with green to get darker shades Apparently the proper way to shade larger models is by color blending. Modern paints dry in seconds by default. But one can use retarder and stabilizer liquids. That will make them mix well. But the training set came without these. Guess for the additional difficulty. I couldn't dare to blend fast drying paints. And I was too lazy to thin it with water and layer. So I just tried to shade it with a wash. And to scrub excess of it. That ended in a disaster on the photo. Other way to shade would be airbrushing. Or paint black, then white white light source with spray. And then use the tinting paints, which preserve the contrast. Generally miniature painting is super methodical. Usually one attempts to simulate raycasting.  Current Mood:  amused |
| 11:53a | ChatGPT says we dont need any colors beside blue and orange Colors are such a huge artist block. Some artists work in grayscale. And only in the end decide on colors. But you usually have human characters. And their skin has orange tone. Now you need a contrast shade tone. So the only other color will be blue. You can get purple shades, but then your faces will yellowish And de saturated. Purple may work with undead characters. Or maybe clowns But not in general. So we always start with blue+orange. Any other way is a challenge.  Current Mood:  contemplative |
