Thanks for the comments

It’s in the other versions of this tree from my previous pieces. It’s also, funny, because it’s the only branch in the tree like that.

I like how the mech is darker than other things around. Makes it stand out.

Thanks

Thanks

It’s not AI. Sketchbook on phone. First layer black background, second a hatch texture brush, different angles and different sizes. I’ve been trying to capture this idea for a while and was not successful until I found the hatch brushes and figure it how to resize and sort the angle.

Thanks

I use water color paint from tubes, you can get stronger colors and mix these differently that typical watercolor sets.

I was thinking it looks like sketching on her face in preparation for tattoos.

I like it. It’s interesting how you have the colors mixed and overlapping.

I’m doing multiple paintings and drawings of this tree. A version with snow is on my list. Thanks

Haha. I guess I need to read the title rather than rattle off a post.

I like your watercolors. I’m tinkering and learning. I like the fine details and wonder about the lines on the wing and on to of the head and the beak. Do you use a finer pointed brush or is there some specific technique? I’ve been using a slightly pointier brush and watercolor straight from the tube, no water to dilute or almost no water.

I’m not done with it. Thinking of adding more branches or does what I have represent the tree adequately?

I just noticed the dim lighting on this. I’ll have to turn on more lights next time.

Maybe the wrong mix of green, too.

Funny the top part of the tree with background sky looks lighter and spotty in this picture, but not on the actual paper!

I’m trying out Krita, too (Linux version, I didn’t think it’s that different). I’m tinkering trying different things, drawing lines, filling in between lines I’ve drawn, making shades and textures. Today I tried some watercolor brushes to make a sky and field, they don’t look much like watercolor, though. I’m going to watch more videos on using Krita.

It’s this Dracaena trifasciata https://share.google/DaW70M9d6Q9dNgZGD

This is the same thing with a darkened shadow. I did this my accident in Krita, but I don’t know how I did it.
