Final Mountain Lake Reflection and chatter

I'm half certain that I've posted this image before, but I'm too tired to poke around. So just in case. Here is the final "Mountain Lake Reflection" image!

 
Thanks so much to all of y'all for being so great to keep checking on/giving tips while I worked!
As of now, though, I'm about to head off to get some sleep. Have a sinus infection that's going on and...well. No wonder I've been so exhausted and unfocused. XD Have had this thing for at least a month or so!

Have to say that I hope to see y'all on the 12th. You'll love my next feature!

So. I have only a bit left until I get my medicine switched up. It's been a little bit distracting in my mind so I'm sorry to not have this actually finished yet.

However! The island is as finished as I want it to be. All I need right now is to toss some sketchy paint on those trees in the background; hopefully those will be finished soon. I can't wait to be finished with this piece!

Edit: Mountain Lake Reflection is complete! https://art.rachburns.us/2021/05/mountain-lake-reflection-wip.html

Well! I've been a hair busy this week but absolutely have to show off how these island rocks are coming out. Cannot wait to get finished with that island, I'm so excited!

I also mentioned about speaking to my Neurologist on Monday's post. Everything worked out great--I've already got an email and text from Kesimpta, so that's nice and set up. (They're talking with my insurance right now, but I'm expecting some booklets from them in a couple days. So that's always good!) 

Still dreading going back to shots but I really don't have a reason to worry. 

Yay for them!

Can you believe that the Mountain Lake Reflection picture is almost finished? I've been working on it so hard this past little while and I'm finally coming to the endpoint! There's only the rest of the rocks on the island near us until I'm done. And just look at how those rocks want to be!

I mean, as I come closer to the camera, I hope they won't be that tiny. But it's so exciting to see this one so close to being finished!

The most amazing thing has happened! The .clip file allowed me to merge all of the reflection layers without messing them up. I'm going to sing about that lucky happy accident until something else happens. Also, I have plenty to thank my tutor about--he suggested I create some silhouettes of the trees I meant to put in the background? It looks amazing!

Have to be honest; I didn't know that it could work like this. (Super glad that it did!)

Bitten again by the art bug!

But isn't that just exactly why this site was created?
Honestly, I'm quite pleased right now. This is a terrible sketch but it's a great baseline for the painting it will become! 

 

I've set myself a new challenge too. If I get over the cowardness to all of it, I'm going to attempt to paint with Clip Studio's new timelapse feature. Provided that works out, I'll just have to put it on the videos page...keep an eye out!

Edit: 19 second timelapse of getting the linework done!
