AnnBirb's Art Stuff

So...I spoke last time about the bird possibly being finished but it absolutely couldn't be done without proper shadows, could it? Even I couldn't talk myself out of it. XD But now that it's properly finished, I feel so pleased, so relieved.

This will be put on the Art page the day this posts. But be certain that I'm going to have some fun with Minecraft and Sims 4. Will try to share everything when it's done! 💖

Also, before I leave, I want to share these links again. I used a new watercolor brush for this piece; SimzArt shows how to create the brush on Clip Studio Paint. (I'm more than sure that it can be mimicked with other programs!)
Here are the three videos he put out to show how to make it.

AnnBirb's Art Stuff

Finally! Finally had the brain to paint the pen and pen holder! The colors may be mixing a bit with the tablet but...can't wait to have the mind to paint the shadows. (As I should have when I painted AnnBirb. XD) It'll happen when my head's less mixed up.

It's been pretty fun to play with the watercolor brush that was created for this. I can definitely see me using it again! In case you missed it a couple weeks ago, SimzArt has three videos that shows how to create this brush on clip studio:

In theory, it shouldn't be too hard to mimic this brush for other programs if you're interested. And who knows; if you know more about watercolor painting than I do, maybe you can make it behave even more like how a watercolor brush does? Whatever you do, have plenty of fun with it all!

AnnBirb's paint stuff

I have so fallen in love with this watercolor brush! Look at what it's managed to do so far!...also, I was unaware that AnnBirb has purple on those feathers. The color's so pretty together!

SimzArt has a few videos that can show how to create a watercolor texture brush in Clip Studio. Maybe the other programs can make a similar brush if you like to use "watercolor" digitally?

AnnBirb's Art Stuff

 

Linework is finally finished. Anything touched up later, if at all, will be quite small so I'm posting it today as done!

And of course if I paint later it will be a burst of insanity. I'm tired of looking at it. XD

Edit: Wednesday 20, 2022

Sooooo...I mentioned insanity if I paint it, yes? Let's never forget that I never claimed sanity rules my life. XD

Wish me luck on this 'watercolor' idea, if I can make Clip Studio mimic it!

AnnBirb before Art Stuff

Ann Birb is coming out slowly! Personally love how those wings worked out...and now I have to figure out how to make the rest of her feathers behave. XD
Can't wait to see how it's working without the sketches behind it. Soon...so soon. 

This has been such a fun project, no matter how long I've been working on it. (Since sometime in May? XD)
