Under their noses a Womble may be

Decided to paint some more pictures of the creature that dwells in my flat and causes vast amounts of happiness and mischief in equal parts.

I'm also exploring different styles within digital painting to find what I enjoy the most.

New subject, new medium, old technique

After having somewhat of a success with transferring my painting style to digital I decided to evaluate my recent work. While visually similar to work I like doing in order to achieve the style I was left wanting more of the freedom I love but in a digital format.

In order to achieve this I decided, instead of aiming for a digital painting that resembled the final product of my painting style, I would employ my own painting techniques and processes in a digital format and experiment.

Original base drawing

Mixed edges to create a matte background.
(Similar effect as if applying water to pastel drawing).

Built up layers of colour focusing on areas of colour,
rather than the orignal drawing.
Final step: Drawing back into the image to add definition.

Working at Five Guys I had a great time and met some really awesome people. Over my time there I created a fair number of drawings inspired by the people I met and the conversations I had. One of these drawings was inspired by a creative conversation I had with my manager David "what shape would you be?". I was entirely surprised that someone in a busy work environment would indulge my ridiculous questions and answer, especially with a well thought out and creative response.

With us both recently leaving the store, I created a digital painting to commemorate the great time I had working with Dave. I am currently also working on some of the other drawings inspired by my time there so there may be more to follow.
