When you switch from one to the other there is definitely a learning curve, but each is fun in its own way!

oh hey I just mentioned this elsewhere but keep a little fine mist spray bottle on hand to keep paint on your palette from developing a dried skin on the surface

Ugh terrible photo, the light was bouncing around. Had some real trouble with mud-mixing in this one but it looks all right for a tiny canvas. The sky's nice.

 I tried to study this picture because I like the colors... I do not understand the colors. I used the eyedropper tool to try and copy the palette and it did not go well.

I recommend you don't use the eyedropper tool to choose your palette if your intent is to study color. Use it when studying the painting, and to check how close you got with a manual selection, and maybe use it if there's a tricky color you can't figure out because the surrounding colors are throwing you off, but generally speaking, don't try to actually paint from it. I would personally recommend choosing colors manually and building a small set of swatches, either to the side of your painting or in the swatch menu if your software has one, then setting your brush colors from there when you get around to the dirty work. Remember, not all of the colors you color pick are colors that were on the painter's palette; a lot of them are just colors that emerged from blending a much smaller palette! Look for some Youtube tutorials on color theory and limited palettes; I bet Marco Bucci has some good ones, and they're only ten minutes apiece.

Not a drawing, but starting up a new ArtGoon discord so that we have one where the mods are a) there, and b) actually part of the artgoon discussions rather than just running a discord empire. https://discord.gg/25e2VpE

I am really loving this series. I saw a black vulture, a king vulture and a turkey vulture at a bird show last weekend and fell in love, so I sat down to sketch some, starting with turkey vultures. I got some neat recycled paper and new art supplies from some friends, so I took them for a spin.  I  and a quick sketch from a ride through the park

HopperUK posted:What did you use to make these? Pastels? They look great. Thank you! They're mostly charcoal (vine and compressed), the first one used china crayon/grease pencil, which I have not used before, and then the white is white charcoal pencil and some white sticks that, uh, I don't know what they're called because I got them as hand-me-downs but they look like some kind of compressed white charcoal/crayon? and some conte crayon for the brown. The red is oil pastel. And then a lot of blending with smudge sticks, which I've never really used before. I'm used to using my fingers or a cloth to smudge, turns out smudge sticks are super useful! Who knew?

Carotid posted:I started taking a figure drawing class, here's the products from the first two classes: I love the shading here especially! The feeling of volume is very good. I moved onto a big canvas! I say big. 12X16 inches, a big step up from the 5X7s I've been doing. Excuse the light reflecting off the paint, I couldn't find a better angle. Oh and the yellow branch middle-right looks a lot better in person, the photo has smeared it out. idk I felt terribly daring just trying to do a bigger painting. Cheers St Bob of Ross.

These all make me feel nostalgic. Reminds me of trips up north in the middle of the woods. All my grandpa's property had that same color palette. Best Nick Cage. Shinmera posted:
Please make more stuff like this. It looks like it's made from paper cutouts and I love it. Progress pics! Made the woman on March 1st, then Beardo on March 14th. Gave myself an hour for each. Without the time constraint "challenge" I tend to put things off in favor of more figure/head practice. Lots of mistakes, although those are just roadmaps for what to work on next.   Wanted to make something that I didn't strictly need references for so I could work while hanging out with my wife away from my art desk. This is my "canonical" Pokemon team comprised of bozos that usually find their way onto my team in some form or another regardless of the entry in the series.
