Learning Digital Painting

In progress (25 min.)

And finally somebody is teaching us the right way. My Comp ILL instructor is a fantastic teacher ~
We're preparing to place our characters into their environments... I'm thinking of background concepts and outfit designs in the meantime, while we're practicing painting.
So happy that I remember how to create clipping masks from Graphic Design back in high school - thanks Mrs. Campbell!!!

Grayscale quick study of a pot (I didn't pick the reference). Mostly we should be concerned about getting values right rather than perfecting the shapes... at least, that's what I'm most concentrated on.
