My first original piece since I started learning digital painting earlier this year. Been working on this one on and off for awhile. I reached a point where it was about 90% done but the asshole in my head was telling me I’d just fuck it up so it nearly went unfinished.



The palette I used was chinese vermillion, thalo blue, yellow ocher, black and white. A bit of the thalo blue was added to the vermillion and ocher right at the start to cool them a bit and to help tie all the colors together. I know a lot of digital painters go for a really vibrant palette but I tend to prefer something a bit more subdued in general, and working with a limited palette helps ensure that the colors all work together.



I designed a tartan pattern that I originally planned on using on her kilt, but ultimately decided it was getting to be too much detail. The first version of the background was originally a bunch of really shitty, overly detailed pine trees. Those, too, were painted over when I realized they were distracting from the figure.
