... something else
This is the final image. Or is it? Likely, it is not. I have already started on a perfect version of my ***Mother Earth ***painting.
Of course, there is no such thing as a perfect painting. What I mean is that I already started on a vector version of Mother Earth. You're familiar with vector vs. pixel, right?
But let's start at the beginning, not the end.
This here is a pic from the sketching phase. I am not one who can just magically and with a few strokes produce an amazing sketch of something that resembles a human. There are artists out there that do this wonderfully. It's amazing but it is not me (unfortunately).
Here I am starting to color in the sketch with a watercolor brush. This is all done in Procreate App on an iPad Pro. The coloring is on a separate layer with the pencil sketch set to multiply to shine through the colors. That's why the pencil strokes now are black. I like that look.
And here, I am almost done. Just need to decide on the background color. And as you can see from the gif and video I didn't really decide. Though at the moment I am favoring that muted pinkish red - LOL
Which color is your favorite?
Here you can see the whole process in a timelapse. Above pictures were grabbed from it to detail the process a little.

And that's it my Nostr friends for my first longform post in this community.
