Click the flag to see the speedpaint! Here is something of my digital art process! I definitely do not consider myself to be a perfectionist when it comes to art. I focus on getting across the general idea or else it will just take me too long. Drawing each individual scale perfectly would be too much so I broke it down by scale groups (areas where they change to bigger or smaller scales) and then filled those in with basically identical scales. I drew some lines in red on the original photo reference early on to point out to y'all what I was looking at, specifically for negative space, but it actually ended up being very helpful for seeing where I needed to make corrections!
art by me! Now I need to delete the speed paint off my computer because it took 60 MB lol.
