Sorry about this May being a fruitless month. The June billing cycle is going to be canceled, so all of my existing patrons won't be billed on June 1st. I'm still figuring how to find a better balance between learning and being productive.
不好意思,這個月份的獎勵再度難產之故,六月的結帳週期將會取消,各位不需要在6/1支付任何款項給我。而我究竟又在衝啥,呃簡言之就還是不死心地在思考怎麼完成一張插畫稿。
The top image is one of my old OC characters "Huh-Yan (冴炎)", or you can just call him owl demon boy ;) The sketch was made long ago, and by reviewing it makes me realize I made no improvement in sketching during recent years... Yesterday I tried to paint over the sketch--a very roughly rendering was also made long ago, but most forms are very vague to read-- and finally got some ideas on how to finish something. This time I want to solve my bad habit of depicting overly-complex, confusing forms, so I choose a square-shaped brush to slowly reconstruct the shading with simplified values.
至於首圖,可能老粉會認出他是誰或是還記得他的綽號也說不定,總之就是我幾百年前的自創角色之一,前幾天把舊角色草稿拿出來審視,被「呃我七八年前畫的草稿比現在還像樣」這樣的現實狠甩了一巴掌,然而我七八年前也有一些無法處理的問題,現在可能有辦法改進,於是我利用方型的筆頭覆蓋原先潦草的灰階稿,慢慢重新整理出比較容易理解的結構。總之畫這張的目標是改進自己畫出過度複雜/不清楚結構的壞習慣。
In case you might be worried about the lack of posting next month, I'll make another post before 6/3 to share any of my progress and thought! (might be patron-only)
雖然六月沒入帳但我會盡量持續上來刷存在感,下一po會在6/3前發布!
