[isketch] Hello Moon
I think I'm on a role! I normally don't drink coffee due to having plentiful amount of energy to myself but I feel like my brain is going into overload. Here's this evening's quick fun: Hello Moon!
This sketch is done using an iPad Pro using the Procreate app. As with my other sketches I have been relying on the Sketching – HB Pencil brush (comes with the app) to sketch out my lines. I think I've found my nitch with this brush since it resembles the traditional pencil so much and I've been comfortable with the type of lines it outputs.
I took out one of my notebooks this evening so that I may take notes during my Dungeons & Dragons session when I saw a note I wrote to myself earlier this year. I don't know if this is weird but I like leaving myself notes, I'll write goals, hopes and dreams to myself and then stash them away in books or different places to find either a year or years down the road.
Still using the same brush I started shading in my scene.
This particular note I wrote back in March states:
I want to draw, draw a feeling. What is that feeling?
Anger? Abandonment? Confusion? Sadness? Wondering? Lost?
So many words in the English language but I can't pinpoint one.
I saw an image done by a painter who lost her ability to paint with her arms, she painted her frustrations with a beautiful imagery of a bird trying to fly being weighed down by a rock.
I would...draw an elephant looking at the moon.
And then I got up, got my iPad and proceeded to draw an elephant looking up at the moon. (And how fitting this evening happens to be close to a full moon as well!).
I knew I couldn't stop with the HB pencil brush and was experimenting with different brushes/colors to make this image feel more complete.
I finally found my final brush with Touchups - Zombie Skin. The brokenness of this brush helped create the sky and mixture of colors I was looking for.
I'm so happy, back in March I was struggling drawing an elephant but this evening it felt like it was flowing out from my fingertips. I hope you are enjoying looking up at the moon little one!
