Good looks and been photogenic is something that doesn't favor some of us (I would say is harsh opposite on my case) but I guess there is always a time when we have to show our #realface, why not on a #artvsartist occasion.
Wasn't able to draw much for a couple of weeks, this is a warm up and a way to see my presets still work the way they should :D
Not happy much with colors but to be honest that was the least of my concerns, need to take some time doing palettes now, but all in good time.๐
Got my younger Cub (daughter) on a bike this last sunday, her first time going on the trail (paved) and beyond the school, we also went for a slow ride on the park enjoying squirrels and ducks and the last days of spring since here in south LA the summer heat started to move in already! โ๏ธ ๐ดโโ๏ธ ๐ดโโ๏ธ ๐

Been drawing this one with only a pencil preset, trying to look for those soft texture effects here, an illustration for my next #krita blog post.
A bit slow since I'm also painting side by side with this one a little gift for my wife. ๐
Got some little details on writing about some of my presets, (two mostly), will keep adding posts till cover most of them.

Down here another quick "brushing" test.๐๏ธ ๐

Ok, my #Krita bundle is online, I still need to do a detailed explanation/illustration of the uses of those presets (brushes), but for now an introduction will suffice.

Bundle at (above and) https://www.opendesktop.org/p/1295080/
Since is my first bundle, I would consider it in "beta" stage, I will maintain it and update it as needed, for anyone who gives it a try (although I hope you wait till my next post) plese let me know if it works on your Krita.๐
Got another couple of pics, is taking me a bit longer to round up things but so far it looks like my little set is working fine.
In these, I use a brush (preset) I had for a long time and its only purpose was to do pines ๐ (yep I grew up watching BobRoss too), but it took me a while to understand how to modify Krita's sensors curve to make them (pines) the way I wanted, now cleaned up and ready to be shared.๐
Going to put together some demo reels and snapshots sampling a little #krita brush set I'm been customizing and organizing for sharing.
Here is a quick piece of some of the vids, in this one I'm only using a single preset to demonstrate different uses of the same texture, aimed originally as cloud maker.๐
And here it is, the image of the sample.
I make the icons monotone, the image and look will be explained on when I finish my blog post about it. ๐๏ธ ๐
