keepin' it messy ┐(￣ヮ￣)┌
🕑 Added 2024-09-05 20:44:21 +0000 UTClately, I've been in the pursuit of messier art or more accurately art that feels more energetically expressive. I mentioned in my last sketch post that making digital art sometimes feeds a perfectionistic mindset, in which I get encumbered by the possibility of continually improving something, sometimes to its detriment. it's something I try to stay aware of, because it's a habit that's really easy to slip into. to try and balance out that tendency, I've been encouraging myself to stay loose while drawing and painting, using techniques that steer me away from fixation on details. I like to use brushes that have a degree of unpredictability, mess around with color jitter settings, and paintover rough sketches so I don't get feel hemmed in by arbitrary lineart. it's made painting a lot more fun and less precious when I know I can just paint over something that doesn't feel right, which is how I paint when working traditionally. I love exploring new techniques and learning the quirks of each medium. even though I've been making digital art for so long, I always feel like there's something new for me to learn about it, which is really cool! forever grateful for the existence of art in this world~ 💖

I’ve been wanting to have a messier art style, too! I’m always so fixated on the tiny details and making my art too “clean” even when I don’t want to. Do you have a specific brush set that you have found helpful?
