Day 146 Flamingo 2

A #funwithfaces challenge by Skillshare teacher Charly Clements.

Try the challenge:

Afro

flamingo

bikini

I loved that I’ve learned how to use the transparency tool so the person can be seen through the wave. Too cool. I also am much better at distorting the shadows so they drop onto the ground instead of in the air!!

Again, I’m redoing the challenge with Affinity Designer, which is a different way of thinking through a design. Every part is a shape, layered with gradients and transparencies as needed.

The flamingo is crappy, I know. I’m still working on textures and drawing.

Here’s my take on it in my previous post with ProCreate.
