There’s always the art megathread if it doesn’t apply to inktober :^)

it sort of does though - I just swapped the “ink” part of the challenge for “digital” because I wanted it to be a challenge and use a medium I never do normally. And I wanted the art to be of a unifying theme; the official prompts felt too general… so I am doing a digitaltober challenge instead :]

here’s the missing days:
My theme for the whole month is “Pripyat 1982”; sometimes it shows more, sometimes less ^^;

No, i’m just saying if it “doesn’t” relate, as in it’s not directly for Inktober (regardless of medium), or was from another timeperiod.

Do you see all the detail before you draw or do you draw detail as it starts to take shape? I always wonder if what the finished painting for drawing is what you intended to draw or if people just start from a rougher idea or vague theme and fill it in.

That’s actually quite a profound question. It varies from painting to painting to what degree I already know where I want to go with it; but there’s always some sort of idea of the final goal in my head. Sometimes it’s very detailed; very often far more than what I in the end accomplish with the painting (the mechanical skill lags behind the imagination, so to speak.) Sometimes this concept also changes fluidly while painting.
This is unrelated to the way I actually paint - sometimes I first sketch out the whole scenery roughly and add details on top, sometimes I move from one side to the other adding objects. I made time-lapses of both instances:
I hope this answers your question somewhat ^^

i get Rudolph (or is it Rudolf?) but what about the helper? Is it because he’s not an elf with pointy ears?
Good job on the red ink!

I believe that that is Hermey, the elf that was on “Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer and the Island of Misfit Toys”

Yeah it’s from some old claymation Christmas movie. Kreestuh and Goalkeeper are right.

There was a series of reliefs in the Pripyat city park, I wanted to paint one of them. If there was rats too, who knows. Maybe.

Thanks I really appreciate the insight. Images in my head are always quite patchy and somewhat simplistic even though I understand the detail I want to see I can’t really see it. I wondered how other people see what they draw before they draw and how they get to the end result.
