Sketch of the picture. Aye, Tsuna vs Hibari during Tsuna's training in the future story arc. Wanted to try my hand on battle scenes and playing with perspective.
Inked sketch. Felt the orientation of the sketch was too stagnant, so decided to give it a tilt. Redrawn Hibari, although it gets no better... That angle was challenging for me.
Having known the exact colors I wanted for Tsuna, I painted it by segments this time, instead of my usual method of splashing the entire picture with paint.
Mixed the paints when wet as I went on, but stuck to 3 primary paints and sometimes, dipping into some dark browns. Tsuna's hand was not inked to give the impression of it being in the fire. Somehow, forgot about that when I inked Hibari's weapon.... ughh...
Got a bit idea-less when it comes to the background color. I wanted the glowy feel, but somehow, I guess I took it the wrong way.
Aye, turned out for the worse actually. The oranges are sticking out too glaringly. Sharp edges. Didn't like it.
Applied pastels. Kind of desperate move to save the picture, though I wanted some dusty smoke impression (like an aftermath of Hibari tring to whack Tsuna but end up cracking the ground after Tsuna dodged and is in the air thinking of the next strike.) Decided to stop the pastel and moved on to the highlights instead. Splatter splatter... got carried away. Saved the picture with the whites, but somehow, the harmony was forcefully made.
Aftermath of all the splatter was a messy table... hoho... got lots to clean up.
Somehow, this log thing kind of start forcing me to look back at the entire process. Halfway through, I began to wonder if I should have done up a color plan before going right into the painting. This randomness had been fun yet troublesome, giving myself problems to solve probably kept my brain active. However... this kind of approach gave my art a 'finished yet still rookie' look, probably what sets me far behind the professional portfolio. Kyah... gonna do more of this logging to see where I'm heading.
