Ah yeah x.X I guess in some situations, it'll be okay if it is kind of plastic-y xD It is also true about realism. Realism might be hard to pull off, and kind of impressive in that sense, though it is pretty boring to look at since we see it every day xD So why not stylize a bit! Everything is possible with art 8D With art we can see the world in a new way.I'd say the whole picture is more important than perfecting the eyes.. though.. I just can't not render out the eyes since I like eyes so much haha xD GLOW MAKES EVERYTHING BETTER!If people have a kind of desaturated style, then working from greyscale will be much easier. Then you can just add saturated accents ontop later. For super vibrant styles, then you're pretty much just shooting yourself in the foot, even if you're a master at values xD It'll probably be impressive if they can do do it.. but.. why do it the harder than neccessary?? x.X From what I've heard, starting in greyscale forces you to do twice the work since you need to do so much adjustments when adding color ontop. It would be faster to repaint the entire painting in color.And awe ;_; Thank you IF YOU DON'T MIND WAITING FOREVER FOR A REPLY, THEN I DON'T MIND BEHEMOTH COMMENTS. I'm amazed you'd take the time to type all that tbh dsajhrkaaskhjr
