Trying to get back in my habit of doing Daily Sketches: doodling purely for the fun of it. When doing this doodle, I generally just open up a blank page, put pen to paper (digital or print) without a plan, and see what happens. So in case you were wondering, I have no idea what kind of creature that is. :-)
I did this using Corel Painter 12. I gave up on Painter a while back after upgrading to the newest version -- got too frustrated with the crashiness. This morning I decided to give it another go AFTER installing the latest update patch. Didn't crash on me (yay) but I still have to get used to the interface of version 12, which is quite different from 11. I did the colour of the dresses using the Real Watercolor brushes, which weren't nearly as laggy what I remember from the previous version. I changed my mind several times about the background, but ended up using the Digital Watercolor brush.
Then I added the shadow on the wall to make it look as if both figures were flat paper cutouts, just for the fun of it.
The black ink outline was done with a variant of my favourite Drippy Pen brush.
Back from a 10-day invite-only board gaming event hosted by board game designer Alan Moon. Amazing how those 10 days flew by! I had meant to do more sketching while I was gone but ended up being too distracted. :-) So good to get back to my doodling...
