When does the old weirdo with a home studio phase begin? Tired of being a burned out disappointment

Thank you so much! I actually had a couple different attempts until I found something that worked well and fit the style of the rest.

It ended up less labor intensive than some previous attempts would've been, but still was a whole lotta work, so you might still want to try different approaches!

I basically made rough color sploches first, staying in darker shades. Then I used a basic round brush with the taper set to quicky reduce brush size with less pen pressure, that's how I get that leaf shape with quick short brush strokes. Then I just layered them from back to front, getting lighter in color.

Sorry it's a bit hard to describe in writing, I hope it makes any sense at all...

Thank you!!

Yeah I pretty much agree with you. I love love love the setting and vibes, but it seems hard to really make much progress on anything, but easy to get punished in a way that gets frustrating.

Though, we haven't played for long yet, so I want to wait a bit longer and think the mechanics through before a final judgement. And maybe there's ways to work it out or learn to work with the kinks it has. But it's good to know it's not just me who feels the mechanics to be a bit wonky!

Thank you! After the woodpecker I made them fit certain sizes to frame them all together! Thought if I already put the work into it, might as well make them look good as decoration. That's where the off-white paper really brings it together I think!

Thank you so much! I wish I could get to a point where I can actually observe and draw them from real life and not just photos. But that's a next step then!

Noted, thanks for the info!!

That's a lot of super useful knowledge, thanks for sharing! I thought I already watered them quite little, but it seems it's still been too much! Your comment also makes me consider to move it further towards the windows to maybe get bigger leaves

Oh I definitly had that misconception! Since winter air is really dry here I thought that might help. So you think the humidifier alone should do the job or should I put that away as well?

Thank you so much!! I think it's great to learn other people's tricks, that way I can try to see what works best for me and my plants! Shame that I haven't thought of just picking up the plant to see if it's lighter or not, seems like such an easy thing to do with smaller plants

Can absolutely recommend it, the view there is just gorgeous and so relaxing!

Thank you so much for your kind words!!

I haven't heard of the similarly between NFLD and Ireland before, but now I definitely wanna visit there as well - just absolutely loved the scenery in Ireland <3 (though to be fair, my impression of it is a little skewed, I didn't have a single bad weather or even foggy day during my whole trip there haha)

Thank you!! They are just the characters of a ttrpg campaign I was in, so no famous characters or anything : )
