Chipped away at some animation practice this week!
I gotta understand each segment to its fullest so i can piece them together better.
I also want to get better at smooth animation & adapt to whatever frame rate im at

I'm going to try and sketch every biome to go along with all of my clouds. Soooo here's a desert biome sketch

Continuation of yesterday's doodles. Almost done with these wispy clouds. I'll try these in a cartoony style next time

It's much easier to use a darker tone as a base. I tried every variation and this one is the cleanest workflow. I tried starting from the mid tones and bright tones but to no avail.

Cat sitting my sisters cat tonight.

I finished another wispy cloud drawing. I had a rough time shading the directional lines inside the cloud.

Shaded in some clouds from before. I kept the colors at 3 because 4 has too much fidelity to it- Higher fidelity drawings dont look great as background objects.

I tried speed painting some hills today so I can pair them with the clouds I drew in the past. It's not perfect but I'm satisfied with how they turned out :D
I'll adjust the cloud colors so it matches this scenery a bit more too.

Added some wip shade. I finished the top one but I decided to redo it. I'm trying to add more circular and s-curves to the shapes. I think this shape has the best organic feel to it.
I need to stop drawing in straight diagonals like I do with UI

I'm going to try drawing these wispy shapes. My first attempt looked horrible so I'm hoping this one goes a little better

I just decreased the size of my previous drawings.

Here's a sun dude for a diagram i'm going to make really soon.

A quick lil icon before bed. No time for a cloud doodle

Drew myself on top of a cloud for a cover pic

Nice I almost finished recoloring these clouds. It took a lot longer than expected but I'm happy with the results. I need to figure out how to draw these quicker in a more realistic style.

I usually started with the mid tones if there were 3 tones total, added highlights, and finally the shadows. I started with the darker tones when working with 2 tones. I think this is the most optimal method thus far.
As for the shapes, I need to write more notes to quantify the concepts into words.

I tried a different color palette using existing cloud shapes. I'm going to try and double the shade count to make it look realistic

Icons of my most used desktop applications :D
