Ann B. Mateo Digital Sketch Work-In-Progress for Youtube Video

It's been taking me long to update this art project and it's because I make other projects such as Youtube videos. I didn't really expect to get back to drawing but wanted to see if someone out there likes to watch me draw. It's one of my early passions that I grew up with. So, I'm trying to get back my art career and build it up. However, my channel won't just be able to focus on art alone to explore other possibilities in my life.

Here is the first Work-In-Progress I've made with Ann B. Mateo

Testing out tools on Krita to draw efficiently with only using mouse.

So, as you can see on the head part it was directly painted over a rough sketch. Only using a mouse because my graphic tablet is already obsolete and had to switch to mouse. I'm using the opensource painting software Krita. Experimenting with a bunch of tools I'm not familiar with but got a hang of it after practice. Decided to use the line art tool so create shapes and form without making the lines look to jagged when drawing with the mouse. I was originally left handed and transferred to the right hand. I can set the mouse to my left hand but it feels really weird and I have my laptop connections on the left side.

After a few weeks, I went back to the project and started sketching the rest of the parts. Sketch is still unfinished though.

I think the size of the body and head is not proportionate.

I'm getting the feel of line art sketch but I still feel that it doesn't look good yet. It needs more practice. And the proportion isn't really right. It seems the body is bigger than the head. No worries as they are adjustable by tools rather than redrawing it. My painting style will also be using the line art tool. You can customize the tools and that's what I like about Krita. I'll keep posting about this and make more art projects when I get good feedback from the Youtube community.
