Hey guys, so this was a piece I finished a few weeks ago but am finally get up on Steemit. I was scrolling through Instagram and came across this picture and it was one of those times that something inside of me yelled, "You have to do this!".....and so I did! I asked the owner of the photo on Instagram if she minded if I used it to which she happily obliged.
Hair has always been a bit daunting for me; it was one of the more difficult things for me to grasp and get "good at" in my pursuit of improving my art skills. Basically, it took getting my mind to seeing hair as just blocks of highlights and shadows - once you get the main blocks, then you can go into further detail and render it better. I'll be doing more in depth videos of my processes in the future (once I get a better camera, which I think is coming soon thanks to winning the "trial by comics" contest which @kommienezuspadt hosts, and as he pointed out the 25 SBD right now is worth a little over $300 USD! So a big thanks to him for putting on that contest and all the winnings from that will go toward a new camera which will be a very tangible way that the steemit community is helping each other out and that camera will allow me to do my part to give back to the steemit community with hopefully some insightful art tutorials for those wanting to learn traditional art! :) )
Short little videos I made for my Instagram page.
