I love this geko! While the background is simple, the greens on the branch look amazing! I wish I could draw shrubberies like that. Oh, and don't get me started on the geckos texture and shading. It's absolutely visually stunning. Amazing as usual Elly.

Thank you so much, Rosemary, susu, RUSSIANFOXX and luv2 for your kind comments! It means a lot to me! I'm happy with the foliage too! Lil gecko was a bit tedious but I found serenity while working on it...thanks again!

A forest lit by a fiery sunset

Oh I like this one..it kinda reminds me of the view from a cave near where I live lol

It reminds me of a real forest fire,When you can readily see one,just separated by a river from you,its horrifying, A couple years ago it got SO DRY HERE,the little towns way outside on the further reaches of the county, THEY ALL GOT BURNT UP AND HAD TO FLEE!!--They lost their homes,businesses, ect!! one tolwn called "Paradise" was especially so dried out, the whole town people lived in,for years,causght electrical charge off a faulty telephone line(something like that)

Yeah, I like hiking in that area. Because most of the trees are either burned down or dead, it creates a dreary atmosphere. Now, you can see some of the sprouts from the fire growing, and if you go deeper into the area, you can find some areas of trees that survived, especially in places like Crieg Lake. It's pretty neat.

Thanks guys! It means a lot to get feedback.
@luv2 I am keeping the dots jaja. I like them and was recently watching Puss in Boots and their amazing, scratchy animation. I fell in love. Not to mention I also adore Spider-man into the Spider-verse and their equally, if not, more scratchy smear-frame, animation and not to mention those juicy lines they add on top of the 3-D models. Just, ah, chef's kiss. I like the dither. And I'm a sucker for animation. I lean more towards that than realism, so adding the half-tones is a little of my touch.

@bitbof I have watched a few videos and they encourage references with good, contrasting lighting for drawing portraits (and many things, for that matter), I thought this was a great time to put that info into use.
I did zoom out quite often, but I agree, the tone for her chest area was not a perfect match. The expression, oof. It wasn't until my family member pointed out that her face was tilted and open-mouthed. But I was too tired and too lazy to alter it. Jejeje. Since I didn't get the tilt and positioning of her face in my initial sketch, I feel like it did affect the draping and expression in the end. I do acknowledge that the end product doesn't carry what the referenced did. I did spend more time in the face, I was just too excited!
Nonetheless, I had a good time drawing this, I learned a lot. To be honest, I just wanted to see if I could draw a face that make people say, "Yep, that's a person."

Very nice :)

susu (Feb 24, 2023)

Excuse me mrs. nutella, but what technique/ tools do you use for shading in kleki?

yellow.nutella (Feb 25, 2023)

@susu, I normally go in with flats and block out each part with hard shadows and highlights. Once I get a good idea of how and where the light hits, and where it doesn't, I use the airbrush (the one next to the first brush, because I don't now what else to call it) and change its setting to 100% opacity and blending to 100% as well.
I set it to 100% for opacity because I do own an apple pencil, which supports pressure sensitivity, but if you don't, I suggest 60% or lower so the blending doesn't overboard. Then I see how it looks like compared to my reference and add or remove the highlight/shadow with my mid-tone with the first brush set to low opacity and the square nib. I repeat the process until I am satisfied or rage-quit. I hope this helps!

Thank you both
Actually the cat wasn’t intentional at all and I didn’t notice till you mentioned it! This was my photo that I was attempting to draw https://postimg.cc/RWRb5mL6
Kloxboy no I don’t have any online tho I really should ..I do mainly play classical

luv2 (Feb 2, 2023)

Ah, there it is as well on your original photo. I guess it looks more prominent on your draw.
Anyway, excellent drawing of you!

elly (Feb 6, 2023)

Your work always fascinates me and makes me go, "WoW"! You're a beautiful soul with amazing skills! I love this portrait!! Masterful!
