trying a very different approach to color ala tim mcburnie style and it's making me melt. figured i'd share it bc Idk it's more complicated but I like the way it's making me think/plan

thumbnail and rough sketch that i liked so much i turned it into....

and then made several color thumbnails/messed around w them for awhile

until finally settled on this one

and then

so the current foliage lines look like this and they're on 11 different layers (i'll merge some to be back, mid and forground in a bit)

(i also started on solas' head just ignore it for now)

and next step is really spend more time on the construction layer for lavellan and the wolf statue (solas is ready to be lined bc i drew him first)

then color with flats using quick masks instead of by hand like i'm used to c:

this is all wayyyy more layers than i'm used to but I do kind of like it so far; particularly the color thumbnail and construction layer/phase part

#idk if this really counts as art tutorial but ? basically?#pina art #i've had this idea in my head for years. like since 2014 #and it's bc i imagine solavellan sitting on a fenharel statue while he ties flowers to her staff like in prince of egypt. you know the scen #but i always wanted it set in the emerald graves and ive just never really had the skill to make it come out how i wanted before #anyway i'll updated with completed lines and probably flats later #i want to note i'm not like. spending too long on this. trying to keep it to like 30-60 mins per ''phase''#and the og thumbnail i did several weeks ago lol
