The texture combined with the neutral and often overlaying colours really appeal to me, and I love how despite being very flat (a stylistic choice) the believability of the world is still there. On his instagram he has done some Q&A's, here are the ones that affected me the most:
I've found that a lot of the artists I follow will do or have done some instagram Q&A's, and I always find some very useful information.
My takeaways:
- Schoolism and Domestika keep popping up as great, affordable online resources to learn more of the technical skills/foundations, and in my free time I really should do some of these.
- I've been focusing too much on my technical skills! Part of the reason I love environments is how you can be incredibly imaginative with the worlds you put the characters in, but I've told myself that that can come later once I've become better at the actual painting and the foundations. However allowing myself to get imaginative would not only benefit the appeal of my backgrounds, but would give me more motivation to do them as I would enjoy it more (and hopefully that will show in the outcome)
- I should experiment with making my own textures and brushes
