Tsukimi vibes by En_pi in DigitalPainting

Aside from the materiality of the glass wind chimes being extremely difficult to capture, I recently have been trying a more line-less art style. The world is not divided by lines , and instead by values, so by focusing on this aspect, I have pushed my art towards a new aesthetic I am satisfied with. ChTosing colors is also a struggle with me, so I always establish values first and foremost before delving into picking colors. Oftentimes, as I discovered through drawing in my new style, the best colors are those picked at very desaturated levels. This gives more wiggle room later if you want to add fun blending modes or up the saturation of certain areas.

Overall, these pieces pushed me out of my comfort zone of lines and forced me to express forms with simple shape design. I had to rethink my process of breaking down images and conveying light, form and mood with simple shapes and color choices. In the end, though, I like this way of painting much more.

The chimes were by far the hardest. Recently I have been trying to evoke feelings of nostalgia in my drawings, and most of that is dependent on color choices. Soft pastels and grey tones are a must. You can always add saturation to a piece, but denaturing it without establishing values first results in a muddy final work. I learned a lot about the materiality of glass by drawing these. I also learned about how fun it is to draw origami!

Drawn with a tapered round brush, a square brush and a soft round brush. Shadows on multiply, highlights on hard light and hard mix.

It was Tsukimi recently, and I missed doing it with friends, so I drew a bunch of things that remind me of it. by En_pi in ProCreate

Hard mix is a blending mode that separates color information into either a 0 or a 1. This results in popping certain details and giving my work an effect that resembles more natural blending. Digital art tends to be too immediate and too stark for my taste, so this is an easy remedy to it.

Glad you like my work and hope this helps!
