Learning to paint digitally

ambiirae

So this past week was my first week having an iPad and Apple Pencil and it has been very eye opening to digital work. Previously I had played with procreate but only with my finger so it was a huge change having pressure sensitivity and being able to try out all the brushes in a whole new way.

Here is my first completed piece following a YouTube tutorial on painting these mountains I am some what happy with it and definitely looking forward to learning more

Getting closer to finishing my next piece. Having a hard time with my trees but feeling like the rest is starting to come together

This value study is starting to pull together hoping to finish it and take it to color. it has definitely taught me a lot already and is changing the way I think and how to figure out if things are looking correct or not

@ambiirae I like the subtle detail.

ambiirae

@Heather-Boyd thank you! I have a long way to go on it but just trying to take my time and enjoy the process of it

did a quick reflections layer this morning which will have to be redone when brought to color. What do you guys think?

@ambiirae I think it's looking awesome; especially with the atmospheric perspective going on! The reflections look believable and really adds to the overall piece

Continuing my landscape quest and was fairly happy with this one for how quick It worked up not an original idea this was another tutorial based one but added in the background and learned about trees and snow

Here’s my two most recent paintings ️ Still doing landscape stuff but still loving it

Wow you’ve really been growing! I see a definite leap in skill from your original post good for you! Love your last one

ambiirae

@Asyas_illos thank you ️ It’s hard to monitor your own progress until you see them near other works you did in the past

Current wip mountain peak using a reference photo to guide me along sense I’ve never made rocks very well and they have always intimidated me. This is somewhat zoomed for detail I’m happy with it so far ️

Making slow but steady progress on this one super exited to se how it turns out

Gary Wilkinson

Really good work and progress

ambiirae

@Gary-Wilkinson thank you

ambiirae

Calling this one finished there are still a few things that could be finished but over all I think I have learned what I can from it

ambiirae

I'm trying really hard to continue learning new elements and push out of my comfort-zone. This week I decided now is the time I should learn rocks! Silly as it may be they have always been a challenge for me and something I’ve convinced my self I just couldn’t draw so I just avoid putting them in my paintings at all costs which is very limiting. I knew I couldn't keep it up forever and feel that over the last year sense getting my iPad I have grown a lot so I might as well give it a shot. So here's to my first rock study

Let me know what you think

Here is my newest piece named The Valley of Clouds. This has been changed so many times after my initial sketch but it was always mostly focused on the sky and clouds. Please let me know what you think

@ambiirae I just saw this thread- and holy bananas! The difference between your first image (which was good!) and the one you just posted- is wild! I'm so glad you made a thread for this so we can see your journey! Really nice work.
