Describe:
This is a quick sketching exercise, which takes about two hours. When I was browsing on pinterest, I saw an unknown photo. The man in the photo seemed to be performing a scene of emotional breakdown in a play. His expression and body language touched me, so I drew this sketch with him as a reference. I attempted to express a strong light and shadow effect by first dividing the picture into very few distinct layers of black, white and gray. The brushstrokes were also used very forcefully, in this way to convey the intense emotions of the characters.
Working with Krita has brought me endless joy. The powerful module for customizing brushes enables me to adjust and create brushes freely according to my own techniques and habits.
What a lesson, amazing!!!
i thought it looks like an old photo from an instant camera, impressive
Wait, how did you do the color? On the video it just appears magically. Could you explain the process a bit?
