Yeah! Let's go on working on a different style again!

The last "Logan" picture was done by having a lot of different layers that use the Layer blending options. The only times I used "Normal" blending mode were for the base colours and things like edge shine and line art that should be seen over the picture, etc. Here is the original PSD file, shrunk down to the gallery's picture size (the full-size version was deleted by accident), if you're interested.

I still think that Opencanvas style --mostly composed of Normal layers-- received more positive views from others. Ever since I got the Jason Chan illustration video from Massive Black yesterday night, I thought that if I wanted to draw something that looks painterly, I'd have to use different brushes rather than different layer types. The PSD file that came with the video was very, very interesting and intimidating.

When it comes to hand-drawing, I'm always going to stick to Crosshatching or pencil-crayon colouring; that's settled for me.

Though I'd still like to hear what you think I'm best at.

Oh, hah, I feel so immoral. I should, like, slap myself until I'm back to the way I was with my art about two months ago. You know what I mean?

I'm getting seriously pissed off at myself and the world around me (EMO!) for not finding me enough time to relax and draw. Not only that, I can't ever be satisfied with one style of something; I just need a bit of everything.

That's kind of what happened to me with art for the last 2 years or so. I bought all sorts of art gadgets; markers, pencil crayons, graphite, Tablet, and even sculpting materials, but I'm not good at any of them! I can't stick to one thing, y'know?

And then the problem breaks off further as I find more art styles within each of the media. Just with Photoshop, the possibility is endless, and I'm never getting especially good at any of them.

*PS* I needed something to clear off my last journal.
*PPS* Mood won't change, so it remains as "Satisfied."

Tomorrow-- by which I mean today, 'cause it's 12:23 AM right now-- is the last day of school to actually involve work. In the dreadful Friday the 13th, all my exams take place.

I have done NOTHING but STUDY for the past week(s). Not even sketches or GAMING TIME were able to go between my study times, 'cause it had been wake up, study, eat, study, and sleep for a good couple of days.

Hopefully, I'll see some fruitful results tomorrow.

Then it'll be summer.

-School.

Recently, I've been putting up sketches in the Scraps gallery.

I noticed a long time ago that I draw a lot, yet only about one percent of the pictures ever make it into the final stages and get posted up in deviantArt.
I learned recently that I shouldn't be uploading only the things that I really like, because then I would become lazy when I start feeling I can't seem to draw anything. Sketches are made during these times, but I don't feel they are all that great.

Sure, I had put up a lot of things in Scraps before, but it was only because:

1. I didn't really feel like working on them any further, yet I still liked them.
2. They are WIP pictures, or
3. They were part of the main gallery, but I disliked them later on.


I plan on uploading at least three sketches in the Scraps gallery per week, unless I'm really tight on schedule or I'm working on a picture that will actually go on my main gallery.

Okay.

Expect more smut, though.
