@koneko: It is yes.
I don't do them often because im terrible at deadlines as you can see lmao.
Can never get dates right.
But at least one will be done way before it's due.

I'd love to do one but i know no one will do it from how little
traffic i get. maybe i'll do one if i ever get to 1k followers.
artists mostly do them to celebrate milestone goals.

@koneko: Starting is always hard.
I have watched tutorials and tried learning everything about digital painting
for 3 ish years and only now starting to get up the courage to do a study to learn more. :vanora_sweat:

@koneko: There is just a lot to learn within art.
Especially on your own.
but im also a very complicated thinker. I go very deep in thinking.
But learned a lot from tutorials.

But studies are the best way to learn.
Also don't rush things.

yeah for art stuff sometimes u just gotta keep going / get thru for it to start shaping up and looking good :0 i think especially so for painting

i think w my process , a lot of the impact comes from the last phase , i like to do a lot of color and contrast adjustments and i think it makes a big diff (and it's also v fun for me / my favorite part lol) - but in order to get there i have to finish painting everything else first lol and oftentimes i'm like oh this looks bad i wanna give up ....

i like the ugly stage of art and blocking in the bigger shapes of color.
not so much refining and doing smaller details.

@koneko: i try not to worry about the details
because the main focus of a study is not to get it exactly like the picture
but to learn from it.

If you learn from it, then it was a good study in my book.

idk maybe there's a faster way to do it though? i just find coloring flats to be a bit tedious, but i'm also manually/hand coloring ..... sometimes i color the outline, fill w bucket tool, then color the weird border edges
i know some ppl will lasso tool + fill for coloring though, maybe i need to experiment more w process?
