I thought I’d try stepping outside my comfort zone and try painting a digital portrait in the ProCreate app.
It turns out that the whole exercise was way outside my comfort zone and took me about ten hours over a two-week period.
Perhaps there are shortcuts that experienced digital artists might have used to shorten that time, I just approached this as I would painting with traditional media, laying down the paints and blending them until it looked right.
It was fun but I’m still struggling with accepting that a “good” piece of work takes much longer than a sketch I can complete in an hour.
