...are scrambled because I can't think straight!
It was the best 70+hrs I have spent this year. I am not a hardcore gamer at any rate, I only play games where I can kickback and relax. And I have only played just a couple of video games since I started back in 2018. But RDR-2 stole my heart with its heart wrenching story and beautiful gameplay. It was an experience that I recommend to everyone who enjoys an immersive escape from reality. Without going much into spoiler territory, I'd like to mention one of my favorite characters from the game - Sadie Adler. Her character development is so amazing that by the end of the game I was wishing for a DLC/game where I could play her.
I draw whatever catches my fancy so of course this painting is inspired by her. My decision to try pencil shading rather than colorizing it stemmed from the fact that I wanted to create a grunge look. And pencil is the only medium where I have some sense of control. But I created this digitally using the pencil brush set. And I must day, I'm not impressed. There is not enough variety in the pencil styles. And I could not use the given choices correctly as well. So the end result is a mish-mash of rough pencil textures and overly smooth shades (I don't know why but some of the pencils were so smooth - it's not realistic). Nevertheless it was fun because I did not cheat. If you know me, you know that I'm almost color-blind (I'm joking) and I have no color sense at all so I color-pick all the time. But this one is purely my hardwork, yay! Hope you guys like it okay.
