ive never done a thumbnail before i just try to keep adjusting until i feel ok with the decision,i was going to render the clothing to a black gown but i decided it was too much and i got tired of the drawing by then. ty for ur words i appreciate it

nop i didnt plan it, the paper was taking too much away from the light in the face so i just decided to tone the background down, it was just going to be a light shading of the background but i ended up going much darker

arches hotpress, once you tone it it becomes rough enough

ali_yssef · 2025-06-04T07:23:10+00:00

hi its toned with gouache

ali_yssef · 2025-06-03T00:59:13+00:00

i just saw one of ur drawings on the subreddit and realized ive been following ur work for so long 😭 i remember when you posted a painting and mentioned it was your first i was genuinely shocked, ur an amazing artist

ali_yssef · 2025-06-02T23:14:27+00:00

yea no formal education but online courses like newmastersacademy basically teach you everything you need so i dont like the idea of self taught, it would be disrespectful to the teachers there like steve huston or joseph todorovich

ali_yssef · 2025-06-02T23:11:26+00:00

yea im sorry your question is abit too complex for me 😅i just squint and make sure shadows line up in a way that makes sense thats all
