Cornerstones
Cornerstone is about those who have greatly influenced my art journey since it started way back in 2012. It has been a long journey, and I'm more than proud to have gotten this far, but we should never forget the people who got us to where we are. Without our beacons of light, we would be kept in the dark with no direction. In the end, it was them who gave us the push and the instructions to get to our destination.
Hope you enjoy it!
Cornerstone 1: Without you, I wouldn't have a shoulder to lean on; A person to call home.
For my boyfriend, MK, who gave me all the support I could ever need to pull through my struggles.
Process GIF for Cornerstone 1. It took a while for me to do this due to several external factors and a try at a new technique.
Cornerstone 2: Without him, I wouldn't have branched out.
It's kemonodad on twitter! He's the first internet friend I've had. If i didn't meet this boy then I wouldn't have discovered the wonders of internet friends.
Process GIF for Cornerstone 2. This drawing holds a special part if my heart because it took me a day to do this. I also had another go at the new technique earlier said. Glad to say, its paying off!
Cornerstone 3: Without him, I wouldn't know where to go.
This is for RioichiKarihazi on twitter. He is one of my best friends who is still a major influence in how I draw today. Please do check him out!
Process GIF for Cornerstone 3. I decided to have another go at the technique used throughout the series. Glad to report that I'm slowly getting the hang of it!
Cornerstone 4: Without him, I wouldn't know where to go.
Yeah, Jeri shares the same quote as Rio.
This is for jeri_june. Like Rio, he is one of my best friends who is also a major influence in how I draw today. Please do check him out as well!
Process GIF for Cornerstone 4! Now this took a while because this was done back to back with Rio's portrait. A little rest later and some more fine tuning with colors and values came into play here.
Cornerstone 5: Without him, I wouldn't have worked harder.
Hey it's CussinDave (check his twitter out!)
Looked up to him since those tumblr days and I really love his stuff, and I'm really psyched that we managed to meet at fp!
Stay cool, man :D
Process GIF for Cornerstone 5! Now, school got in the way here, and getting the right colors for Kestrel in low light proved to be a challenge. However, it pulled through in the end.
Cornerstone 6: Without him, I wouldn't have started.
His videos made me laugh. His doodles made me pick up drawing. His passion made me do what I love.
Thank you, kitty0706.
Process GIF for Cornerstone 6. This time, there was a new tablet and a new set of brushes used. Its the "grand debut" for basically those two. This was also done in a day!
