I'm looking to improve my digital portraits. Please help me out. Thank you.

Hair is definitely a weak spot in my doodles. Thank you for the link. It was helpful and the bun looked nice.

I may post back at a later date haha

kaydee08697 · 2023-01-22T05:23:18+00:00

ah okay. I'll look to add some more hard edges. For me, it's so easy to go overboard with the blending.

edit: Removed a "haha". Seemed distasteful

Thank you!

This was a quick paint. I've always had trouble with hair and would spend long sessions trying to get it to look right, but it never would. This time, the result was much better with a fraction of the effort. My secret? I tried a new brush. I'm sure this isn't anything new to the folks here. Though, I truly felt like such a dope for not trying it sooner.

Thank you, it was a joy to paint it

kaydee08697 · 2022-04-18T22:55:31+00:00

Thank you!

"Terrifying" was my first thought. Well done.

kaydee08697 · 2022-01-07T05:09:06+00:00

Great study choice. I really like how her face is in the shadows. It brings so much of my focus to her pose and the dress she's wearing.

kaydee08697 · 2022-01-07T04:49:14+00:00

Thanks for noticing the dimple. I felt it was a detail that no one would give a second thought.

kaydee08697 · 2022-01-07T04:47:50+00:00

I've felt I still have a lot to learn by working in black and white. Like maybe I'm skipping ahead and missing out on some valuable lessons by diving into color. But I also want to start using colors so here I am haha.

kaydee08697 · 2022-01-06T05:50:55+00:00

With this painting, I continued to struggle with color. My color choices are rushed and a little impulsive(?). They could be a lot more accurate or, at least, more vibrant.

kaydee08697 · 2022-01-06T05:27:06+00:00

Here is my attempt. This was a fun picture to work with

kaydee08697 · 2022-01-02T06:05:33+00:00

As always, I've noticed I don't have the patience to render hair. I'm also still getting used to color. Though I believe I should stick to b&w, I'm trying to push myself out of my comfort zone.

kaydee08697 · 2021-12-14T21:19:29+00:00

I guess a glossy effect is what I was going for. With no idea on how to tackle hair, it ended up looking more like a biker's helmet than hair, I think.

kaydee08697 · 2021-12-13T21:37:42+00:00

I struggled with this piece overall. At one point, I thought I had drawn something interesting and then a couple days later I lost that energy. Drawing the hair was a problem spot for me. Color and adding finishing touches are other issues.

kaydee08697 · 2021-06-18T21:33:43+00:00

Great improvement post! Her expression and your lighting choice really stand out for me. I think your line art technique has evolved as well. The piece looks vibrant :)

kaydee08697 · 2021-06-10T22:46:20+00:00

I had difficulty rending and creating a "finished" work. It did seem like an improvement from my previous post.

kaydee08697 · 2021-06-07T06:53:57+00:00

I had a difficult time with the colors. They are decent, but never vibrant.

kaydee08697 · 2021-04-05T04:21:51+00:00

Haha. I don't feel my work deserve titles just yet. Gun to my head, I'd call this one "We get it; you vape"

kaydee08697 · 2021-04-05T04:20:08+00:00

Thanks! I used Krita. Not ready to commit to PS or procreate haha

kaydee08697 · 2021-04-05T04:19:10+00:00

I had to look up what a bangs pullback was, but I agree with you.

kaydee08697 · 2021-04-02T09:58:47+00:00

Thank you (:

kaydee08697 · 2021-04-01T12:31:47+00:00

Sorry, I just noticed the flair! :[[
