Gouache, 5th May: Shallan
Added 2025-05-05 16:41:05 +0000 UTCAfter pulling off a non-human portrait yesterday, I wanted to try a human one, and Shallan volunteered (also because I wanted to do the skin rather translucent and more squarely in comfort zone territory) that wouldn’t have worked with Kaladin.
I like parts of this, but there’s also the question how smart it is to try to achieve the sorts of results in an unfamiliar medium that I know to do perfectly well in a familiar medium.
What I want to do is to do something like a creamy, soft gradient effect… maybe I haven’t found the right subject matter yet. The flowerbeds that everyone else paints aren’t it, I can say that much. ;)

Look at it the other way around: you KNOW what this should look like, how it should work, in familiar media; now you're applying what you know about such things to a new medium! You're learning smart, applying your years of knowledge to something new! ^_^
