/ic/ - Artwork/Critique

Pic is from one of the videos linked. The artist puts down lines and some base values below the line, and then she creates a new layer above it all and starts blending. What I'm interested in knowing is, do pics like >>3845253 >>3845272 also employ similar line -> value or are they more along the lines of >>3845256, where we simply paint without line, mask/lassoo or no mask/lassoo? It really fucks with me and it's why I'm so thirsty for a process video for a painting where they do these really form-y paintings with many values. I want to disregard line and go straight to painting without first using line but I haven't been able to create anything acceptable in this way yet. Just draw etc?

>>3845310
Yeah not sure why I made those value decisions in hindsight.

>>3845317
I wonder if I'll have to do that. I'm stuck.

>>3845356
Part of me really hopes that he did a drawing because I can't fathom how somebody could do the silhouette thing of >>3845256 and plop the light down correctly. I bet it's possible but it seems so hard if you're aiming for that look.
