The golden Tree

Hey there, I just bought Rebelle 5 when it was just 10 dollars and started a sketch with it. Finished the piece in Krita tho. So 10% time spent in Rebelle, 90% Krita or so. My hand gets better week by week and I got a new job. Feeling awesome and figured I’ll paint with shiny colors this time!

And here’s what came out of Rebelle as a rough starting point:

Thank you so much!

Beautiful! Especially the light and the sky. I wonder how you created the aquarell like effect. :sparkles:

Thank you! Like I said, it started in Rebelle, which simulates watercolors. However - if we’re honest we could reproduce it in Krita with Watercolor brushes relatively easy. There’s so much painted over that is wouldn’t make a difference if we have “reality based simulated water” or just Krita brushes (for example Ramons watercolor brushes!).

What helps is texture, sharpening some layers here and there. And using the digital tools a bit like the real ones: starting big to small (I paint in layers, rough watercolors first, more details with more controllable brushes second), also never going to full black, smudging some edges, adding some halfway random bits here and there. That can help make it look more like watercolor/gouache.

Hope it helps in any way!

I’d be curious to know what was the 10% you did in Rebelle. Ever consider making a tutorial? Like you could maybe make some sells by selling a course over at Udemy.com

Hey @tachiko
I did the second image in Rebelle, the rest was Rendering. So the foundation was already done in those first ~10% of time spent on the whole piece. :slight_smile: It was mostly as if I would take a rough watercolor or gouache sketch, scan it and then render in Krita until finished.

No I actually never thought about that, probably because I always tend to think that no one really cares anyway. Which might be wrong, but I don’t know really.

The choice of colors go really well with the smooth shapes of the tree and terrain.
Very nice render! :slightly_smiling_face:
