Discussion: Art skill development

[mekare]

Since we are in between challenges atm, I’d be interested in what you are all working on. Do you have a specific skill you are trying to learn? A technique or new medium? A subject matter you haven’t portrayed a lot? Is making time for your art a challenge right now?

What are your personal challenges right now or your successes?

I have been really productive in my newly acquired fandom, BUT my main challenge right now are things I am continually trying to improve:

-natural posing (including foreshortening) I have a tendency for very static poses
-likeness of that one actor with the impossible face (which looks different in every screencap)
- backgrounds
- being more free with watercolour and avoiding paint by numbers colouring (which I feel sometimes leads to less emotion? Esp. Combined with static poses)

Yeah, I hear you with poses. Always super hard to get them natural looking!
