Baby Doll - Last Steps
Added 2021-09-29 20:40:28 +0000 UTCThese are a couple more of the WIP steps on Baby Doll. Having finished the main figure I painted up the various versions of head gear and breast coverings (as I always have to think of Instagram.)
With that done, I jumped into the background with the nurses, and then the arrangement of masks.
After that it was fairly straightforward to block in the bed and then the background behind, with a final balancing pass on the lighting.
As I'm refining my process I'm always torn whether to block in the painting of the background first, or wait until the end. Both approaches have their merits although I often find the temptation to get on and start painting the main character(s) tends to win out.
With this project I want to try to paint complete scenes as much as I can - that way I get to test out all my skills but also because I try to tell a story or at least suggest a scenario and put in as many suggestive and fun details as possible.
