Extended Blind Contour

Journey

7" x 10"

Digital with Procreate (blind contour was on paper with pen)

The story behind my digital painting is that the girl is sailing to the skull island for something like a quest. There is rough water around, along with rocks in the water. This relates to my life because I was trying out techniques that I learned in a Marco Bucci tutorial. I wanted to focus on the character in the boat, so I created lines all pointing to her in the drawing. Additionally, I made the linework rough and sharp looking, except around the boat.

I made the lineart with a pen on paper. After that, I uploaded a scan to procreate, where I colored it in and made it cohesive.

I used line to create shape, and I used value to create form and texture. I used line and value to create contrast. This began as a bristol paper with lineart on it. Then, I adjusted the lineart so that the pieces that I wanted to emphasize were clear. After that, I added it to procreate and sketched my ideas in. From there, I just added in color. For next steps, I might fix up the areas around the lineart, since some white is still showing.
