Description New year, new ID! Just a little quick speedpaint/drawing to get that ghastly portrait off my dA profile page.

40 minutes.

[PS: Perspective is hard.]

Perspective is a bitch, man.  Especially on humans.  To match the angle you took with the skull, I tried adjusting it a bit in Ps just to see what that would that like.  The shoulder looked a bit too low, but you be the judge: sta.sh/024k66xxsvaw (threw it up on sta.sh for a min; will remove once you've seen it)

I really like the lighting and soft color palette!

Hey Mae! Thanks for the comment! Yeah, something felt off about that drawing and I couldn't quite place it. At the same time, though, I feel like your suggestion wouldn't quite fit with the pose I had in mind for the drawing ^^" The shoulder is indeed a bit too low, and I'll keep it in mind for next time!

You should, definitely! I tried out a slightly different technique this time, and I think the result is not that shabby. Go for it!

Thanks, Lauren! I felt that even though tjis was a spur of the moment drawing, it was better than my old devID otl hahahaha

The perspective seems to look okay to me, but then again: I also struggle with it. 
Lovely speedpaint, either way! <3

Awww, thanks, Astrid! I appreciate the kind words.
Oh yeah! I'm gonna be in Belgium starting September. If you are anywhere close to Leuven, let me know!

You're welcome. 
And I'm from a city that's about 20mins away by train, so I'll definitely try to pop by when you're there.

Oh, is it Brussels? Or a different one? Either way, looking forward to meeting you!

Hardrockangel In reply to chinara [2015-01-12 13:04:07 +0000 UTC]

I'm in a city between Brussels and Antwerp, so I have pretty fantastic connections to practically every big city nearby with public transportation.

ooooh, I see! good to know. I'll definitely keep this in mind once I go back to Belgium!

Plus: if you're going to be in Leuven, I know the best coffeeplace there.

Oh my o8 It wouldn't be Dewerft, would it? I visited a friend in Leuven in December and we went there for some tea.

Hardrockangel In reply to chinara [2015-01-14 16:23:25 +0000 UTC]

It's Montcafé, actually. It's like this little, tiny coffeeshop near a thai-restaurant.
Though now I'm curious about Dwerft.

I haven't heard of that one just yet! O8 we need to try that one out for sure.
As for Dewerft, it's a hip student café close to a catholic student accommodation, as far as I remember. It's quite cute

Hardrockangel In reply to chinara [2015-01-14 17:56:39 +0000 UTC]

Oh! Okay, so we definitely need to go! 
I study in Antwerp and I already know of some really good places there as well, so ... that's also a possibility on top of going to Leuven.

chinara In reply to Hardrockangel [2015-01-14 18:01:30 +0000 UTC]

Definitely!
When I was in Brussels, I didn't see anything except Brussels XD;;; and Leuven, just once, before I went back to Austria. So I definitely need to see Antwerp too!!
