I've been listening to Dark Paradise by Lana Del Rey. I've fallen in love with the song, thanks to my sister. Since listening to it, I just felt so motivated to draw out a scene based around the song. I sketched out a basic picture, then I was hit with an idea that made the picture grow. Once I thought I was finished, I was dissatisfied with the outcome. It felt.. Empty. I talked with Sooz and she gave me an idea. After that I was happy with everything!
In the end, I am super happy with the outcome of this picture! It required a total of 20 layers. But it doesn't beat my picture that required 70 layers. Golly...
I've been trying to get more organized when it comes to art. I have a little program on my computer called Sticky Notes. I have two lists; a master list which has everything I need. Personal projects, requests, gifts, etc. My second list has things which I'm working on right now and deadlines. I keep no more than 5 things on that list at a time (unless something comes up with a deadline). It's been helping me a lot today! Tomorrow I have the day off, so I'm going to work on some more things. I have a trade which needs to be finished, a Halloween picture, and two private requests.
And this is all.
