Background Warmups ✨
I'm gonna start posting some of my extra studies/warmups here since I haven't been posting as much stuff like this on Instagram! I did a couple bg warmups this morning cause I'm gonna be doing a background for the art in this week's video. I'm pretty happy with how these came out! I referenced a lot of Loish and Studio Ghibli backgrounds for the stylization and only used the round watercolor and calligraphy brushes. I tried to avoid colorpicking so I can practice seeing colors by eye and tried to break up the planes and pay attention to values. I really wanna get better at backgrounds so I'm looking forward to doing more stuff like this!

I really like the style you did these studies in! Particularly how you stylized the water in the second study!
Inspiration has hit me, thank you 🙏🏼
These are so pretty 😍 I saved the one with the stream to be my phone background
