New style, who dis?
🕑 Added 2025-09-24 17:59:18 +0000 UTCIt has been a slooowww drawing month, my friends, but I did manage to create something just for myself. I've been feeling stuck in my style and like it has the texture of over-steamed vegetables. This looks wildly different to me, but I'm curious if it looks different to you.
I was having coffee with Conky when she said "Imma hold your titties when I say this, put the soft airbrush down!" And so I did! I traded it for some soft pastels. I also got into doing more hatching. I'm always a little afraid of it, but it's so easy to erase in digital art, I let myself just play around. I'm trying to incorporate more texture.
This was supposed to be a quick portrait study, but I just kept going...whoops.
Brushes:
Line art: Shale brush (default)
Hatching: 6B pencil (default)
Flat Color: Studio ink (default)
Shading: Soft pastel (linked above)
Gradient and highlight: Large soft airbrush, medium airbrush

Thank you!! With the rise of AI, I'm trying to add more texture to make it clear that this is human-made art. SO that means a lot

I love how you do skin texture most of the time, it’s really gorgeous there 🤩

I have a hunch it looks wildly different to me, but only because I spend hundreds of hours starting at different people's lines haha

It doesn't look different to me 😅 but that's looking on a small phone screen with no side by side and very minimal personal digital art experience
