A digital painting study of a skull focused on simplifying forms, capturing lighting, and maintaining a loose, painterly style using broad strokes and mixer brushes.
Attempted a graphite study while watching his. Incredibly different approaches, but his comments were still helpful. 20 minutes, Blackwing Matte on newsprint. I'm still developing my ability to deal with light and half tones. I always fear adding too much. Advice welcome. Is the line on the crest too weighed?
My first try, it's just like you said, really difficult not start picking at details from the start, really helpful video!
