Those leaves are chef’s kiss! Do you mind sharing your process for painting them? I struggle to get mid field leaves like this.
Up close super detailed I can do, far off hints at leave I can do, but this distance I have yet to find a process that isn’t super labor intensive and looks good.
Thank you so much! I actually had a couple different attempts until I found something that worked well and fit the style of the rest.
It ended up less labor intensive than some previous attempts would’ve been, but still was a whole lotta work, so you might still want to try different approaches!
I basically made rough color sploches first, staying in darker shades. Then I used a basic round brush with the taper set to quicky reduce brush size with less pen pressure, that’s how I get that leaf shape with quick short brush strokes. Then I just layered them from back to front, getting lighter in color.
Sorry it’s a bit hard to describe in writing, I hope it makes any sense at all…
Oh, that makes sense! I’ll give it a go. Thank you!
