Back in August I started working on some more personal custom Brushes. I was looking for something with texture, shape dynamics and a "dry brush strokes" feel. Or something chalky.
Analysis:
- This Beebo brush looks okay. Not too texturized, still reliable for sketching and blocking out flat colors, with a hint of silky texture. I'm using it a lot
- Beebo feels especially good for scribbling and hair tufts
- The values are decent
- I like the result of cutting out parts of the creature in a nonconventional way
- Beebo needs some more work
- As this was not character design practice, the creaure turned out random and uninspired... but unlike other times where I just draw without planning, I haven't created any particularly interesting body parts/markings
- Anatomy and perspective fail here and there
Experience gained: 3 points!
- Painting something as a custom brush test instead of just scribbling around is a good opportunity to produce and practice more
- Sketches emerging from a brush test SHOULD be checked and fixed if anatomy and perspective suck, no matter how little planning there was behind :D
- I'll experiment more on weird cuts and framing
