NOVEMBER CONTEST: SLOWVEMBER
-
@Rachel-Horne Thank you so much
I'm so glad you liked it. -
@Chip-Valecek Wow, Chip! This piece is amazing! I love the lighting, and how you took the time to make the slimy pieces on the trees 3-dimensional. I also love the color palette, and Gary is just so darn cute! Great work on this one!

Great work everyone! I'm so proud of you!!!! : )

@suenaumi I think your piece is beautiful, and I can see how painterly it is even at a small size. When saving a jpeg just compress it a bit and it will reduce the file size. Usually there is a slider to "reduce quality" which is just compressing the file. Compress too much and you will get visual artifacts. . You could always link to a larger version as well.

@deborah-Haagenson uh,thank you!!!!

@suenaumi I get where you’re coming from. I hated digital for a long time and refused to bother with it. Then my wife introduced me to procreate. But it took me a while to get comfy with it. What finally made me change, I had sheets and sheets of paper everywhere. I have to admit Digital helps me to be more organised and use less space and my wife is much happier with me making less mess. But I still sketch, paint and ink sometimes.
If you get stuck again, everyone here will be more than happy to help you out -
@peteolczyk hehe. I am making the opposite transition. I worked digitally (both photoshop and procreate) for a couple of years now, and I want to paint traditionally much much more now. It is messy, it cost a lot more, and it takes more time. Seriously I have no good reasons to do so apart from "It feels right". I think in the end I will try to balance between traditional media and digital stuff.

@xin-li traditional does look amazing

@deborah-Haagenson I love to hear your perspective on this. I had a three year goal too, but I cant believe how fast the first year went! I'm so glad to hear the positives of practicing the digital techniques because it inspires me to give it a try with an open mind. Also I noticed your most recent December post. Great job! I like your take on it with girls in a movie theatre. That's a clever idea for a setting.
@CLCanadyArts Thank you for the positive feedback! I also appreciate you taking the time to give me advice. I feel like I need a digital tutor for even the simplest of things. I will give it a try and next time not wait until the last day of the month so I have some extra time for trial and error!
@peteolczyk Thank you for the inspiration. I'm dragging my feet, but love hearing the benefits. It reinforces the need to push past this resistance! I think this would be a great topic to bring up on the forum, because I love how helpful and invested so many people are, but I want to wait until I have more time to do it justice. As it is it took me two weeks to respond to this thread!

@suenaumi yes it would be a great topic to start on the forums.
