Winter morning walk

For the last couple of months, I been playing a lot with new techniques; editing colours, learning new software and improving my skills in digital art itself. I am trying not to limit myself in creating the same thing over and over again.

The only way to get better is to challenge my dexterity. I listed down my strengths and weaknesses. For instance, I most of the time I paint portraits in one specific head position, my artworks look rough when zooming in and the backgrounds are simple and incomplete.

Now that I found one of my weaknesses, I tried to improve this aspect through various videos. My favourite artists are Loish, Kiwi byrd and Webang111 on YouTube. I benchmarked their artworks to draw my own ones. I said benchmark not copy and paste! Copying another artist will prevent you from having your own style.

Moreover, as I am a graphic designer, this process helps me a lot to built confidence. I can clearly say that I dare to use a larger spectrum of my imagination. It’s like considering yourself as a mad scientist experimenting with new methods to have the perfect formula. Hence, hope this will also help you in some way.

Good luck along your creative journey!

Laurie.

SUICIDE SQUAD

I saw the film last Sunday and I quite love it, despite lots of negative critics around the film. Unfortunately some people still compared DC comics to Marvel.

The insane acting performance of Jared Leto was highly anticipated. Duuuuuuuuuuude he appeared less than 15mins in the film!! But still, he was madder than fire! However, I heard that the deleted scenes of Joker and Harley Quinn were darker, showing an abusive relationship.

Well, this is my version of Joker and Harley Quinn.

Hope you like it
