Well, it’s a beginning. It is a good application but a little difficult to learn because of the many/complex features. You have inspired me though. It is also harder to use with a mouse instead of using a pen and/or tablet.

BTW Can we/you go back and change the subject of some of the posts in the Alphaber Inspired Sketches thread so it does not distract from your original subject?

OK - but it looks like you have already accomplished what I was thinking. I went over to the other thread and it looks like you did a good job of moving the distractive posts. Thanks........this will preserve your original thread. I will go off and look at some more tutorials. What little I have seen from your books has given me a few more thoughts.

I need to understand how you did the perspective with my silly OHIO image from SketchUp. :!

Is there a description that goes with the references in the images?

OK - I get it now :doh: Here is what I came up with based on your example and the images you just shared.

And still some more playing around/learning. Combination of experimenting with brushes and filling.

Obviously this is going to take some time, patience, and learning. :rofl:

One great step forward.
The fact is that, rarely do people paint everything from scratch. They use reference images and benefit real texture/images. It is called matt painting. So now it would be wise, watching some matte painting videos on youtube.

Thanks Majid…. I will watch them also. In particular the ones related to perspective. I do not have Photoshop. I have an older version of Xara Graphic and Photo Designer that allows you to a lot of the same things. The images posted before was a lot of “playing around” with brushes and other stuff to “explore” Krita a little more. I also have to learn how to manage layers so that they do not blend together like happened in the last image.

My goal is to learn how to “capture/visualize” some ideas (hopefully alphabet inspired) before I start bringing them to life in SketchUp and Twilight Render. :whoot:

Also, it is a while since I am using the Photopea website instead of photoshop. They all share similar ideas and approaches. The concept is to keep the job well-arranged and neat. This helps building up the whole job.
