✷ May speedpaints + playlist 🎵🩶✷ (Patreon)

hello!

thought I'd try something different with this month's speedpaint vid and include some music that I think pairs well with the artwork. I love listening to music while I draw and paint, it has a huge influence on what and how I feel while making art. I'll often take time to find the right track before I start drawing to properly set the mood. I, love, music!!! 🫶🫰👍🩷💕💞💓

watching the video back, it's interesting to see how much I changed the facial expression throughout working on the postcard. what started out as direct and taunting transitioned into something more reflective and melancholic. I can also tell that making the choice to add dramatic lighting brought out a new dimension of the piece. it felt risky at the time, but I'm glad I stuck to the vision. I had a lot of fun letting loose with painting after having worked on April's lineart-centric pieces. I think both of these pieces taught me something about style preferences and what I'd like to make moving forward. always an exciting discovery to realize that there's still so much to learn in the process of making art. <3

have a lovely weekend!
