Hi everyone !
I come back today with a new a technique I hadn't yet deployed on Steemit.
Before, i was only working with traditionnal techniques. But 2 years ago, I enrolled in an illustration and animation school, so i discoverd computer graphics and all possibilities that there are.
To progress in digital painting, one of the best way is to do a lot of studies. Studies of photographs, master paintings,...
It will developp your eyes, but also your ability to handle the software.
So, at the beginning, i started with the idea of made a good and faithful study, as close as possible to the photo.
But, trough the process, i feel bored with that.
Arrived at the end of the copy process, I put my model aside, and begin a work of head improvement, adding lights, contrasts, and other details by imagination.
It was clearly the most pleasant part to realize, it is at this moment that i really enjoyed to work on it.
The detail that really makes the difference was for sure the bright light on the squirrel. Remember, an important thing which makes a drawing eyes-catching is powerful contrasts.
I think the most useful exercice for me must not be the faithfullest studies of a photograph, but to begin by a photo, and finish the work by my head.
My default in art is to can not to be able to detach myself from reality. I have this habit I can't help but feel to be maniac about copy each detail of a photograph, even though it may not be interesting or relevant to the drawing.
So.. now, let's go to the next level! :)
My objective is to be able to draw only by imagination, fantastics digital paintings or traditionnal paintings.
I will be very proud of me, and i would be able to create my own imaginated world.
Thanks for upvotes and comments you leave on my publications. I really appreciate the support. :)
Have a good day, and see you soon with new creations! ;)

Your painting is incredible and reading the description of your post reminded me a lot of a Concepartis that I follow on YouTube, which advises that to create digital paintings we look for references of real places, then we make our own painting but copying details of the real image Although his paintings are great they never look like the photos I use as a reference.
He says that by doing that we train our eyes to really see how things are made up and how the lights and the different contrasts look.
Your painting is really fantastic and the different shades it has, I also loved how you worked with the lights.
good job @pipoune <3 <3 <3
Thank you @yanes94 <3

And it is very nice that you included the link to the original source :D Good work !!!
Thanks :D
