This is very far from my regular traditional style(I prefer thin, defined lines and cross-hatching) but I was aiming for a… watercolour-y look I suppose?
I literally cannot draw bird eyes. Someone call @/kacart for me.
I’m also very new to digital painting. And my regular style is similar to yours I think. Eons ago I loved to use thin strokes with an ink pen. Discovering Krita even made me buy an “extra glove” for tablets.
Since my first enthusiasm has cooled down a bit I decided not to dive deeper into Krita (I hope I won’t be kicked out of this forum for saying that). Instead I started exploring the features of Xournal++. I think this suits my needs of re-animating an old hobby better.
So … you asked for feedback … here you are
John Muir’s videos have been great so far. In my opinion, just keep going and finish the whole thing off and work on refining the details later. To me it looks like you understand the shape of the bird already, just indicate the feather layers with a few strokes (if that’s what you’re going for).
