@Griff thankyou for the tips, I didn't even think about the planes of the eye bring different! @sigross that is super helpful thankyou! I think I tried to make his head more cute and rounded and that messed up my perspective, tracing the shapes looks really helpful will try that next time!
@NessIllustration ohh yep the lightness around the eye is supposed to be lighter fur

Awesome thanks I'll try that! Good to know it's not too bad I think I've just been staring at it for too long and it's morphing before my eyes haha! The white was supposed to be reflections but maybe I'll make them smaller if it's reading as the eyeball

Hi all,

I'm really struggling with the perspective on his head, he's eye position and I think nose, I just can't get it to not look weird and I've looked and played with it too much now, any suggestions? I loosely tried to use the head position from this photo

I watched the Photoshop texture video by Lee White and it was super helpful, just wondering if anyone can tell me how to do step 2 in procreate? It's when he imports the scanned texture and paints it on with a mask, do I just have to make it into a brush?

@xin-li I love this so much! P.s you can scan in overlapping sections on a letter size scanner and stitch together in photoshop

@xin-li I do this but I feed the paper through the manual feed at the back so it doesn't have to get picked up by the roller

@xin-li ooh awesome I'll check out those artists thanks! I'm really hoping to figure out the digital watercolour, I'm struggling to keep the freshness that traditional has, good luck playing around with it, it's a lot of fun!
P.s I looove your cloudy dragons

@Heather-Boyd ooh that would be great, I actually haven't done any master studies before, but I want to!
I actually find it so interesting that a lot of the pieces in the dream folio uses more muted colours and browns(although the John Baur work I just love the feel/style/subject matter not so much the brown) because I always thought I like right colours and most of my own work is more saturated, so that was a revelation! You're definitely right about the subject matter and framing, I think for me now I just want to try and nail that particular look I love, almost vintage watercolour style

@RG-Spaulding I love the same kind of dreamy, magical images! Do you know the artist that did the piece with the boat and tiger?

@jdubz I really like both! I think the second one is a stronger piece technically, but I really like the feeling of the first piece
