When I look at art, I like to think about how the process was done. Does the person start with the background, with the main subject, or are they all over the place? I usually like to do eyes last, that’s how I model everything most of the time. I want to do the entire background first, then focus on the eyes.
Only when I do digital art, it always ends up being something completely different. I don’t follow my rules like I do with physical art. Making things on the iPad are fun still, especially because there’s no cleanup or disaster of a paint spill. In a way, there’s a lot of harmony in working digital because I know all I need to do is move my pen on the screen, and the coding does the rest.
I still want to fill the canvas though. I choose the size and I begin to fill the page up. With this piece, I wanted E (guy in the center) to be the main subject and have him posing as if his school picture was taken. You know the ones where you needed to sit and hold a mock tree? I loved picture days.
This was the result. I tried adding textures, the stary sky, and nice wood. Procreate is an amazing program to work with.
