My computer monitor looks nothing like my phone screen, and I need to get better with colours, so I decided to go get some of my digital pieces printed today!
It was just a standard Officeworks print on heavy paper, but omg why is everything so off lol. My monitor is definitely not calibrated; everything I do on the screen looks lighter than every other devices, and these prints show it too!
I’m no good at figuring out how to make my monitor accurate though ugh zzz
This one was interesting to draw! As always, displaying my Photoshop Takes Zero Skill heavily filtered pic, but I do want to post some WIPs too!
I wanted to try something different for this – I really like the angle and lighting of this shot, but it was too daunting to approach with pencil because it was extremely black heavy, and I don’t like having to spend so much pencil lead on paper because it’s so tedious, not to mention the graphite goes everywhere and is prone to smudging! So I decided to start my digital canvas black, and worked my way towards white. It kind of worked???

I still can’t get the tilt angle right so his head isn’t quite as far back as the original picture. The arms are iffy but still okay, and the most enjoyable bit? The XX tattoo haha.
