This month, and this new year, I've decided to revisit a medium I grew fond of quite a while ago but haven't used in a long time: digital. I created original art and continued to focus on skin textures and tone variances like I had said last post. I definitely think I improved and I took risks by trying to correspond shadows and highlights present in the skin depending on the skin color. So, say if a character had a purple undertone in their skin, I'd use an unnatural shade of light purple to create highlights, and I must say I am quite proud with how it turned out.

This month in AP Art Studio, I focused on skin textures. As an artist, I tend to work with portraits the most it seems to me. And when working with portraits, I tend to feel comfortable by constantly using mediums I am used to, like watercolors or gouache. I wanted to work on different skin tones this month, and see if I could possibly go out of my comfort zone and take risks by using a new medium or a medium I am not as used to, such as acrylic. I was able to develop skills by creating a realistic skin texture with acrylic or regular paper, and although it isn’t the best work, I am confident with my start in this specific area. I am proud of myself for going out of comfort zone with skin tones and skin mediums.
