Water those! Hair update

A lot but surely, I am getting use to Photoshop. I’ve been playing with it’s opacity and I think it’s a good way to get a smoother gradient between 2 colours.

The seafoam is a bit thicker than I would like it to be.
After thinning out the foam it’s seams more cleaner.yet the colour of the ocean lacks light and transparency.

I like the overall process of digital painting. I want to improve on the opacity of the water. By adding green hues, it allows the illusion if transparency. In this case it looks more opaque than it was before hand. It has added highlights, but I’m afraid adding too much light and darkness would ruin my progress.

Thank goodness for ctrl + z. I’ll never understand I didn’t live without it. I’ve started to create more layers on the painting. So far so good. I just have to remember to change the layers to the right one. There’s alot to uncover about adobe. I’m looking forward to see a small boost in following after posting more digital pics on instagram hahaha.

Update self portrait

This is a coloured version of the drawing

This is a slow process of how I would use photoshop. It looks better without the outlines as shown in the previous 2 images. As of now, it is a colour foundation of the entire piece. Depending on how fast I finish, I’d like to actually post before this whole thing is due…
After this illustration, I’ll be focusing moreover on the exaggeration of the human body; such as the number of limbs or facial features. other future digital drawings would also include random objects or reflect a certain past event. (formed in a dream-like perspective)
This style I have developed so far in digital is more cartoony rather than a more realistic approach I had in mind. I think further experimentation and tutorials will further help my studies. I will soon post this on Instagram once this image has been more refined to my liking.

Images for further references.
My illustrations overall look quite fundamental, but with further practice and consistent uploads I might be able to create a following on instagram. This also reflects on tradtional art as well.
