spring is coming



Another thing I've learned is that I cannot draw for a long time outside if it is too cold. At least not standing in one location. So no longer drawing times than 15-20 minutes. This one I completed at home from a photo I took as reference on location.

I am not happy with a couple of things:

  1. I don't like my new bamboo stylus. The old one I had was great, but the new one isn't as nice as the old one. I think I'll have to hunt on eBay for the old version. It just worked better with my tablet. 
  2. I'm still not really happy with my color choices. I'm torn between using colors that are as close to reality as possible - and working with a limited palette and choosing colors according to a color scheme on the other side. I think I went with a good compromise with this one. It has a reddish brown/blue contrast which works great and is still pretty close to the real colors. Or so I hope. 
  3. I'm not happy with any of my art apps. Each one has its advantages and each one its drawbacks. I do not like the brushes in anyone of them. Also I wished it would be easier to resize the canvas in all of those apps. Maybe I just need to get more used to those apps.
