30 Paintings 30 Days, Day 6
She’s not like the others. Where my previous Women in Red are bold, this one is a whisper. She was created on Procreate, like the others, but in a format that I didn’t realize at the time only allows for two layers. And so she’s stuck here.

I rather like her, absolutely love the line quality and the smudges even though some people (talkin’ to you, Dear Daughter) say she looks like she was on the losing end of a bar fight.
She’s different than the others because I created her a few days before the challenge, when I was getting my digital toes wet, so to speak.
This is all a learning curve. I think today I’ll spend some quality time on app forums and see what I can learn. Because everything I’ve done so far has been by the seat of my pants and I’m sure I’m missing a lot of what can be done.
As always, sweetums, I’d love to hear what you think in the comments below.

She’s lovely – mystical – and yes, the line work is fabulous!

Mystical…I like that description, Judy!
Very moody and pensive to me – I’m pleasantly surprised at that from a digital piece – I guess that shows I was holding onto some limiting preconceived notions!
I’m breaking down my preconceived digital notions, Bonnie. Doing all that I can to approach the images as I would if they were on paper or canvas. Avoiding the airbrush ‘brush’ like the plague as well as the hard edged industrial look. Be interesting to see what I go with this by the end of the 30 days.
Love what you are doing digitally. I just might have to pull out my ipad again and give it another go. Thanks for sharing the app you are using.

Give it a try< Sue. There are tons of apps out there, I've barely begun to play 🙂
I can’t believe this is digital! I had to go back and reread to make sure I read that right. Amazing! I love the subtlety of her face and how she seems calm yet determined and happy. Amazing.

“I can’t believe this is digital…” That’s the best compliment I could’ve hoped for, Naomi. Thanks!
“… Losing the end of a bar fight …” Oh yes I too have someone who would make a similar comment. I personally love this. You are one talented gal.

Thank you Kelly. Can I call you crazy? (groan…)

Beautiful. Love the depth…it almost looks encaustic but as I read the comments I see its a digital creation! Just lovely and I love your “challenge” and in January!

Thank you, Debbie. I’ve worked in encaustics and take that as a high compliment 🙂
