#and had to take painkillers again and they've kicked in pretty hard which is good in terms of pain relief

[thethingything]

ended up working on it for a bit and mostly did some more lighting and shading stuff again

I'm trying to make the sunlight on the left side feel brighter and more like actual sunlight than just warm-tinted diffuse light. admittedly I don't think it looks like there's a huge difference between the before and after images here

#personal #thoughts #🍬 post #our WIPs #big drawing 2024 #new year's resolutions 2024 #posts made on pain meds #I feel like I sound weirdly pessimistic about this drawing tonight but I think it's mostly because I'm just very tired #and had to take painkillers again and they've kicked in pretty hard which is good in terms of pain relief #but bad in terms of making us very spaced out and giving us some really weird emotions that we don't really like dealing with #anyway I should start finding more little creatures to put in the drawing maybe #like I've added a lot of butterflies and I will almost certainly keep adding more because they're cute and fun and I love them #oh and there's a little tiny salamander on one of the rocks in the drawing because I love those little guys too #but I should maybe add like... ducks and frogs and stuff #maybe birds in the trees? idk I'll think of something at some point #it is genuinely a really nice drawing and the scene is reminding me of something I can't quite pinpoint that feels very familiar
