I’ve been wanting to learn how to use vectors in my work for a long time now. This piece was done for the monthly art challenge over on https://krita-artists.org/
It was definitely a learning experience, but I really enjoyed how easy it got as I went along, and I’ll probably use more vectors in my digital work in the future. I’ve also really been wanting to draw Maple. I know not everyone likes snakes, and some people vehemently hate them with a passion, but I feel like looking after her has definitely improved my life, even when she gives me her little attitude.
One thing I had fun with in particular about this was trying to replicate her pattern. It of course doesn’t do her justice whatsoever, but it was definitely the most challenging part, aside from just learning my way around Krita’s options and controls for manipulating the vector shapes. I still have a lot to learn, but I enjoyed it.
