Anime landscape???

in OnChainArt3 years ago (edited)

So ( I just realised that I start a lot of my posts with this 🤓) it's been a while since I started on my digital art journey, and while I'm not where I expected to be when I started a few weeks ago and life and other responsibilities have gotten in the way of my creativity I did manage to make a few pieces in between which I thought to share today.

I've had to prepare and sit for an English language proficiency exam ( I wonder why this is still compulsory for several countries, even when the official language is the English language) growing up speaking English doesn't seem to make a difference either. I was anxious cos I hadn't written an exam in 5 years. While personally, my preferred grade is short 0.5 points the result is more than adequate for what I need it for (I'm just an overachiever 😄). So, the exam and the fact that I'm working on a big hyper-realistic pencil portrait left me with little practice time for digital art.

I did do extensive research on digital art and the scope left me anxious it's such a broad field, I don't even know where to start from. With pencil work, I knew right away I wanted to work on portraits and it was easy to go from there to choose the medium I wanted to use. But with digital art, while I'm mainly interested in landscapes and sceneries I also want to be able to draw human figures that don't look disproportionate or like blobs of color😞. Moving from black and white to color is exciting though, I get to experiment a lot and all those colors, it's like I've died and gone to color heaven.

Here is my first ever landscape drawing, it looks so shoddy compared to what I've seen from other artists online 😅 but learning is a process too.

It took me a total of six hours give or take a few minutes to get this done and don't judge me, but I had to follow the steps on a Youtube video. I can't wait to get so good that I can run with my imagination.

While this doesn't seem as impressive as the first one, I do think there are slight improvements in contrast to a similar work I did a few weeks ago.
