I just redid a drawing! With my tablet!

     YAY! I just redid a drawing! It's not 100% finished, but it is at a point where I can show it off.

     Classic Nicole, again!

     I think I am starting to see how I can put more energy into my poses...or how to make them less stiff. I feel so horrible for enjoying digital art sometimes, because traditional art, when done well, is still such a magical thing.

     Nowadays I realize the need for digital art...and I can learn to love it more. On the side I would still love to improve my traditional art skills. And to be fair, I didn't put 110% into the original drawing but I still tried.

     For the colors this time, I actually referenced a panel from the comics. I always had this thing where I'd like to only use common colors so as to keep my work from getting terribly complicated...but for now it's fine. Thank God for the HTML Color Names page (it's something on w3schools that lists the color code and the names of the colors. It's for coding purposes but it helps with art, too.)

     I also would love to do that coloring technique where the colors are these crazy mixes that still appear to be the "correct" colors but are more vivid. I don't know if that's the standard painting technique but I would love to incorporate that. I think it's called optical blending...yeah something like that where the paint strokes are distinct and energetic.

     Anyways, I do like the newer drawing more, because I feel that it is better constructed and that it has more energy to it. I also think the pixel effect is better integrated, and that I drew the little computer better. I'll do shading later, for sure. To further practice with my tablet, I think I will redo some more drawings...
