#photostudy — Public Fediverse posts

Primate skull, unsure of the exact species.

Finally finished something and also posting here. #LiveYetVirtual session work which I finished after almost a month. We were studying for fashion photos, and I somehow made this caricaturish work.

Study of a photo :]

From 2025

Obligatory timelapse—

@kirkfzero.bsky.social and I decided to make our own art-challenge for June: Only ONE prompt a week for my slow and easily overwhelmed ass, and we took turns making them up, each week has two related options—

Claire went with "a saved image on your phone/pc OR from a magazine/book".

...So I painted the grumpy neighborhood cat I photographed last month. I've forgotten how to use this brush.

Posting something after another long break, got busy with *life*.

Here is the linocut style 🐬 pair that we were trying on #LiveYetVirtual session on 19th May, which I finally finished today.
The second one is a modified version of the #art where I added a water texture just for fun.

Okay, the "raw" version of the piece without the ham-fisted "post-production" was way better.

Regrets turned to lesson and whatnot...

Tonight we wanted to draw a quick fake linocut as practice for our actual t-shirt design plans. And @titanraj specifically wanted to draw dolphins.

We don't know who the original photo is from, but it's a very common poster, apparently.

Our final #pleinAirpril for 2026 is a rather striking composition shot by @snehasisnama at the Don Mueang airport.

[ It's a really tall image; please do a full-view ]

Botched most of the fun details this time. I'm blaming being a "whole" week out of practice, and trying to draw the hyper-compresed Discord embed instead of the full image like a boomer! :D

Study based on a photo by @nepi

I fell in love with the colors, and it was nice to do something a little different!

Obligatory timelapse:

Wish I'd added more green to the mold on the wall, or just more color variation in general...

Tonight's virtual #pleinAirpril is a photo taken by @snehasisnama of an aging but charming old house on a Kolkata street.

...Closest we're getting to a real plein-air sketch, I suppose!

Obligatory timelapse. Managed to record one this time—

Third virtual #pleinAirpril is, I think, Moo Deng!

I wasn't planning on adding much detail to the water from the start, and that helped a lot with maintaining energy levels. I still kinda feel like I should've, though, the water looks too plain...

Finally broke out my pet favorite hatchwork brush, too!

My 2nd #pleinairpril2026 , it's a photostudy from: https://lemmy.world/post/45104255
I have done it on our #LiveYetVirtual stream on Youtube.

Second photostudy for #pleinAirpril was Milou the dachshund, from: https://lemmy.world/post/45104255

Managed to not get overwhelmed by the grass and fur strands this time! Adorable doggo solves all problems!

...Good thing I'm too lazy to try to draw a live dog IRL!

Obligatory timelapse of me floundering— 🎣

#art #MastoArt #FediArt #illustration #timelapse #LiveYetVirtual #Krita #photoStudy

I had such high hopes for our first #pleinAirpril going in. Instantly got overwhelmed with detail, and gave up on how I was planning to tackle them. Even kept the undersketch, then rushed to the end.

Can't help but feel I didn't use to give in this easily a few years ago, especially after reposting a lot of them recently...

Also reuploading my 2021 #PleinAirpril's to free them from Twitter's deathgrip.

These were my first ever Heavypaint paintings and it was quite unstable on my system back then. What little I had to note of the pieces now in the alt-text...

So I'll just be batching together the pieces in groups of three!

RE: https://mastodon.social/@Scio/108230658025620700

Retooting my favorite year of #pleinAirpril pieces, where I had painted birds I had seen from a beach vacation.

This is the timelapse of all nine pieces. Please see the thread for the individual studies, as I have just reuploaded the individual pieces to Mastodon since earlier they were only links to Twitter, make just before...you know what happened.

# Drongoes Behind the Glass, WHERE THEY BELONG!

The hotel also had two towers which were closed off from access for some reason. Found these black drongoes playing around the spiral staircase!

Common birds, but cute!

# Hoopoe isn't a Pokémon!, The Greener Grass, and Other Stories

Two eurasian hoopoes (what a name) were walking on the hotel lawn while we were having lunch one day. I actually managed to take this photo clear enough to see the birds!

Boy was that lawn green IRL!

(My favorite of the pieces from that year)

# Intermediate Egrets, and the Immediately Regretful Shading—

The place we were visiting is known for its egret population. But I was more surprised just how many of them actually just grazed (they're not supposed to do that) just inside the hotel!

Also, intermediate egret is just a great name for a bird :D

# The Sand Plover Nightmare

I tried to paint fishing nets on the beach, and regretted EVERYTHING.

(Back then I even felt like I managed to make the cute little sand plovers ugly... But four years later, I disagree vehemently!)

# Big Fishing-boats and Smol Kingfisher

We had visited one of the fishing docks. There wasn't much activity at that time of the year, but there were some cool looking Bangladeshi boats moored, and there was a lovely strikingly blue common kingfisher around.

(I had now given up on the style entirely)

# Windmillin' Doves

The state pretended to care about renewable energy a few years ago and setup a few windmills around the island. They were all non-functional even four years ago when I visited, never maintained.

There were also these spotted doves courting on a thatched roof nearby.

# The Morning Mynah and the Shuttered Shops!

This time, an unassuming common myna I kept seeing by himself around the beach stalls. (I felt like I was already hitting my limits with this style...)

# Seagulls and the Beach Sign

I had decided to try my hand at drawing some of the birds I saw around Bakkhali. The locations are real photos, but the birds are referenced from other photos because I didn't have any zoom lenses :)

First up, seagulls on the big sign on the beach!

I use this photostudy to create a tutorial about how I colorize https://ko-fi.com/s/b2bc482665 **
