Just faces, doodled while on a phone call.

Do you remember Douglas?

He remembers you….

At some point in the process on every image I create I check “Sample All Layers” on blur and smudge and I don’t look back. Everything from this point on is additive and worked on one layer. This is where it starts to feel like painting.

WIP: Flag, shading the face.

I’m starting to shadow the face. Lines are lovely but shadows are nicer…

On the left is the first detail from a couple days ago of the definition being added to the face. To the right there are a lot of changes. I made the string more interesting, smoothed out the blush, added highlights to the skin and eyes, and cleaned up a lot of the lines. Next post I’ll show a full-image preview because I took care of the lighting and shadows. Mostly all I have left to do is continue line cleaning.

Last night I finished all the tiny hands. The faces of the fruits are also updated, you can see one here. It’s really almost done, I’m cleaning up some edges on the deer and then I think it’s ready to go.

So I spent all night awake last night… again. I swear that art happens more easily at 4am, but I cannot offer any explanation. I did a lot tonight… a lot of tiny tiny things, so I’m going to post some before and after detail shots.

First, as soon as I imagined the hands on the end of the branches I started looking forward to detailing them. I’ve gotten some done, I have been starting with the central image of the string on the antlers and working out in my cleanup sweep.

I did some work on the largest fruit’s face. It’s still unclear whether it is a mask or a face, and that’s my intention. The fruit has no nose, if you were reading before when I first sketched the faces, because I don’t think anyone would find a nose appealing to eat. Trees make fruit for eating and seed pooping. So these faces must be edible and delicious looking to qualify as fruit!

A lot was done to clean up the strings, and some of it I’m very proud of but isn’t easy to see from this image. At some point before I finish this wip someone please remind me to do some string closeups of the real highlights.

Okay I’ve done a bunch on this. I’ll pull back out to show the major overall changes in the next step probably but I wanted to do some details of the fruit and the cleaned up string. The deer has a ruby eye. Fruit eye.
