Two recent gouache pieces - I typically work on these on the weekends as a way to relax. These are very "tight" and rendered, which is something I'm still working on letting go. It's so hard to loosen up when you want everything to be perfect. Knowing what to simplify and where is an often underestimated skill.
I've recorded the process for both of these, but who knows when I'll be done editing the footage. 😂 I think I have 3 videos to edit and publish now.
First one is Mitch saying goodbye to Finn for the day. He'd love to hang out with his crush some more, but he's gotta go home, where his parents will surely be in the middle of another argument.
The second one is from a different AU where Finn and Damian work at rehab (both getting caught drinking while under 21, and having to do some community work). It's where they meet each other, hang out, and make out (in the quiet hours).
i know you said you dont want to worry about being too rendered but you are VERY GOOD at rendering those tiny details, especially in the hair and on the clothing. these are beautiful.
Thank you so much! I can't deny that it's fun - but I always admire artists who can make the viewer's eye do the work for them. 😂 I hope to be able to do either
