I've decided to try to do another monthly challenge! This time it’s “photo studies but I’m not allowed to use the eyedropper tool to pick the colours” which I came up with because backgrounds and colours are still intimidating and I would like them not to be so much. X)

Figured I would go with landscapes for the first batch, and probably building or interiors for the second, and then maybe portraits? We’ll see!

Part 2 Part 3 Part 4

(1 hour each, references from pexels.com, putting some comparisons under the readmore if you want to see how well I did with the colour matching)

#mydrawings #studies #landscape #background #it's the first time i'm not picking colours off the ref and honestly i think it's helping?? since i have to Actually Look at the colours #the urge to just eyedrop the reference does come back every once in a while but i managed X)#doing landscape studies is somewhat relaxing because i can focus on colours and it's okay if the shapes aren't completely accurate #but i expect it'll be harder if i go with portraits since it's much more obvious when face proportions are off #but that's what makes it a challenge isn't it!#or i could go with still life or food... hm...#well we'll get there when we get there #August drawing challenge
