the light looks real ; ;

Thanks! ;u;

Actually dignifying that with just a thanks is kinda stupid. LOL It was actually... refreshing... to get back to sketching since I haven't done any art in what feels like forever. I haven't used this shading technique in over a year, and it's been a solid technique that I'm not sure why I stopped using... aside from me being lazy and not feeling like doing anything. :/ I've relied waaaaaay too much on post-process. I may have done some here, but only to enhance it and do what I couldn't do with pencil.

At some point I need to actually produce real ART... something that actually has meaning behind it... not just some dumb pose or background image with no story, no emotion, and no soul. v.v Augh. *flips table* But first... warm up sketches~ No point in putting a lot of work into what would be a shitty piece of so-called art. 8U *flails*

there's Foxxeh making a wall of text again


/o\. I wish you would draw more ;- ;

Me too. v.v Sometimes I'm just not in an arting mood. Seems like when I art, I tend to art more... Like I did half a dozen sketches of Raiyou while I was doing this. But then work kills my arting mood and I get tired and dun wanna do anything the rest of the day. -.-; Meh. :/

This is very atmospheric! Looks 'smokey.' I feel sadness while looking at it.

It's got a slight haze to it since I desaturated it somewhat... I guess that brought the mood and tone of the piece down a little too. xD I wasn't really attempting a strong artistic piece with this one... just merely some pencil practice since I haven't done anything environmental in a while... ouo

Yeah! For a study it has a surprising amount of mood and atmosphere to it :) I like that. Some studies can feel a little stale, but this one has character. I feel a sense of loss when I view it.

Maybe it's a bit stereotypical, but I feel like windows do that a lot. xD People stare out windows endlessly when they've lost something... or they seem to a lot.

Haha maybe it is. But I think it's the way you shade too! ;D The tilt also adds to that feeling for me, too.

Ahh... :> That's a shading technique I picked up a long time ago. If you draw and shade everything at a certain angle it becomes really easy to work your tones and highlights into the piece. Light is all relative, so your darkest darks help point out your lightest lights.

Nice! It works very well for you. :)

Thanks! :D
