Description Warm up and studies of colors and organic shapes on species that I am less familiar with and that have some interesting features for my eye. Not to lie myself every creature is interesting and I would like to have time to find these little details on all of them.

"Warm up" ... I would need more than 5 hours to get the shape right and you are doing these amazing critters as a warm up... I am just blown away

I love the colors, shading and details - but also when you zoom in - the simplyness... q_q <3

Well before this few years ago I had these whole day if not two day studies and they still looked like garbage, its metter of practice and wanting to level up your game evey time hehe Thank you!

PandiiVan In reply to MILICRAFT [2019-11-05 05:43:02 +0000 UTC]

Well said! I think so either, but although I am practicing almost every day, I don't get out of my comic-style.

I would love to try to paint like that but I am already failing at picking colors ._.

... still - I won't give up

well you need to go out your comfort zone and try and learn new stuff, try Schoolism for example Color and Light course, there is subscrition per month its not that much. I did a few courses and still when I have time I do leson by leson, there are always new things to learn or to be reminded of old ones.

PandiiVan In reply to MILICRAFT [2019-11-05 09:06:04 +0000 UTC]

That's right. I always wanted to do some courses when I was younger and had no money, but somehow forgot about this opportunity.

Did you only do online courses or went to school-courses? Now that I am working, I am able to try them out


My fascination for your paintings is so high. You are one of my biggest inspiration, although I haven't followed you for long because I haven't found your profile earlier

But your study is so motivating. Somehow, pretty impressive because it's "just a study" but already THAT GOOD!


And... What I really enjoy watching are your painting videos on Youtube *just found now xD* Did you plan on making more?

MILICRAFT In reply to PandiiVan [2019-11-05 10:22:51 +0000 UTC]

Just online self taught no insturctor, it gets boring fast but sometimes you need to push yourself a bit. Its easier if you have mentor if you that kind of person and can afford to pay more, I didn't.

Hahah stop it, I need to become so much better.

Yah for the video, I need to be doing one just now but I am procrastingating with it because its stranege being selfaware while capputring screen while painting-what if they see my mistakes, off course they will and they should just its strange and a lot of work, but I got new PC the other day so it will go smoother so new video hopefolly soon.

PandiiVan In reply to MILICRAFT [2019-11-05 12:13:59 +0000 UTC]

Ah I see. Can you recommend a site or an artist?

Since I don't know whether I would learn better with a mentor or not, I just have to try it out I guess


So you are very self-critical? I mean.. it's good, since you are working hard on yourself and become better and better because you see your own "mistakes" which I - as a beginner - won't see. And I have to say, that it's normal to make changes (instead of saying mistakes) while drawing because you are developing a picture from time to time and "making mistakes" is part of the whole process ? But you're right - it's lot of work and editing on PC takes it time. I felt strange either when I first recording a painting process, but after some time, I haven't even noticed that the program is still recording


I am looking forward to your works. They're always beyond amazing ^-^ and you are a nice person. Thanks for taking time to talk a bit with me btw

As mentioned I think Schoolism is good one and mentoned course from Tonko house, Dice and Robert Condo if I remember corectly, you will find many more there. 

Well to some point where work can be improved yes but I get bored as everyone else eventually from working on one piece and I call it finished or for some other time. Thenk I guess I will just check your videos no problem any time

oh thank you for the advice! I will take a look at their videos - already watched some demo stuff and -as always- it looks so easy when they are painting


I got a few Videos on YT but I think you will laugh a bit when you see what I am doing haha But this would be okay - I am still practicing and learning


Have a great day
