Weekly Update - 269 - 5/5/25
🕑 Added 2025-05-06 02:16:37 +0000 UTCSo many previews today!
My backgrounds could be better! You know it. I know it. Errybody know it! It no secret.
And it's been on my mind lately that I can do more in my efforts to improve them. That I must improve them. There's obviously other things I can work on, many places I can still improve, legs, hips, faces, ears, noses, eyes... but I feel like my characters are kinda decent and my backgrounds continue to be my biggest weakness and I can win big by simply learning a bit more about filling in the spaces around my characters with something that's a tiny iota more visually stimulating.
So here's just a preview of something I was dabbling with this weekend after watching a tutorial vid that managed to get me thinking very differently about doing landscape heavy art. In the past I've been trying to draw them the same way I do characters, which is very... organic shape/structure and line-oriented. But I think the more important thing for a landscape is to focus on the big forms and the blobby shapes and just... the general big picture things. And what I have up there doesn't seem too terrible, I don't think! For once I'm actually not embarrassed to show it off.
