Digital Artworks

In my painting, I tried to depict a soft and timid feeling. The girl in the painting, closely resembling myself in some aspects, has a seemingly somber expression. I don’t think I really had much going through my head at the time making this, and I really just let out every idea I had that came to mind. I tried to make a painting that seemed comfortable, yet you could tell there was something inside that made the feeling almost uncertain. A hint of fear and mystery mixed in. in my opinion, makes the artwork flow and not seem too boring. I tried to make it seem almost like a watercolor painting, but smoothed out a bit more. I used different brushes to create contrast in texture and brush strokes. When lowering the opacity of certain brush marks I created, it made the color appear different than before f\because it mixes in with the other colors beneath it.

In my opinion, drawing traditionally is much easier than drawing digitally. There’s just something about the way my pencil gently scratches against the paper that is satisfying to me. Though, this project was very fun. I think that it is a nice challenge and step from my comfort zone, which I enjoyed. I think the hardest part was drawing the sketch and making the proportions look anywhere close to accurate. I think I did well with the coloring and tones I used to make it feel warm and soft.
