I’m currently painting this oil piece based on a digital painting I did a year ago for Valentines as well, using my two characters “Calestis” and “Adeimos” from my project. I was SOOO excited to start this because it’s gonna be the second time ever that I paint two characters in one illustration with quite lots of details using oils. Aaand not to mention, using warm tone colour palette which I’m not that used to with my traditional art. As you can see by swiping to the next photos, I had to gesso some parts of her body so I can start over fixing the mistakes… this is not something I usually do. But this time I want to do my BEST and I knew I can fix the mistakes so I went brave and just covered her up. Her anatomy was wonky af and thanks to @shin.doe@shinxmrfluffy for being the helpful, nice, and “tolerable” friend she is for helping me HAHAHA

Lesson is, ask your friends first to get some input as they can see your work with different set of eyes. Second, don’t be afraid to start over if you know it’s worth it! And just like in life (pardon me if this sounds cheesy lol) you have to sometimes start over or give things a second chance. As LONG as you truly know it’s worth your time, energy, and emotions. Oh also last but not least that time + patience = precious quality
.
. PS : do NOT use gesso on top of an oil painting because it could crack in time, so please be cautious about this. I’m doing this because I’m trying to experiment and I knew something sketchy might happen if I use gesso, but I really wanted to fix my painting. Oh well it’s okay since this is still a practice for me. Next will always be better! Forever learning, and thanks a lot @ayudasto for the help!

In this painting that Im making progress with, Im manifesting what I want to experience with all the beautiful colours I could create with the best of my capability. And oh yes Im eager to finish it but with patient and quality. So just like in our daily lives, we must be patient with our progress towards achieving whatever it is you desire, but of course with actions. When you work on something precious to you, don’t get desperate in trying to make it “perfect” because you’ll never finish it. So do your best, know what you want to do it, but let nature takes its own flow!
