Picture This - Solomon Caw

Picture This: Mona&Su-Mi
An arc in a collaborated girl's love anthology, Picture This
By *Tyshea and ~Aibi-Cake

-----

So this started out as me randomly deciding Su-Mi plays a Ukulele _{(because it's so underground LOL)}
and wanting to sketch it

OBVIOUSLY IT DID NOT STAY A SKETCH.

But that's okay!
because I got to experiment with backgrounds and patterns and textures and-and <sub>THIS PIECE TURNED OUT PRETTY AWESOME.
YEAH I'M KINDA PROUD.

also I got this done in a day...I am feeling pretty good
yay for labor day weekend, now back to the work grind, LOL</sub>


Anyway, LOL
this picture is when Monica first lays eyes on Su-Mi
SO ROMANTIC.

If you know the reference of the title, congrats, you just gained some insight into Su-Mi's personality, and a bit of a cohesive theme in the M&S story

/begin technical jargon that you probably won't care about
I'm playing around a lot with Graphic design elements in PT as a general theme...a lot of typography and strong shapes with focus on the characters, bold lines, and patterns/textures.
such as seen below

*needs to stop plugging this picture omg*

In this piece, particularly, I was trying to keep things generally flat and designed, while still trying to give the environment depth using value changes and atmospheric perspective

I think it's working...and it definitely helped me get a better idea on how I want to tackle the backgrounds in the comic
gonna experiment with this some more!
/end technical jargon that you probably won't care about LOL

Thanks for all the support and notes from the last picture, I am feeling much better, and the issues are calming down for now.

The support is endlessly helpful, so thank you everyone
I may not have replied, but I always read all the comments <3</sub>
