This is the flat drawing that turns into the 360 image. I tried to add perspective with the template lines, but with my wavy painting style makes it a more subtle approach rather than a crisp clean perspective drawing. I am pretty happy with how it came out, and really enjoyed using the gouache brush and blender in Clip Studio Paint. The range of tools are really good for experimenting with blending colours together, and I much prefer them to the photoshop brushes (this is also because my tablet lags with photoshop). The brush sensitivity is really good, and I like that can change the thickness of the line in a single stroke digitally, giving me crisper lines than my drawings by hand have.

It’s really colourful, and I was a little concerned the colour pallet would be overwhelming, but having the base of sea and sky blue with greens and purples works well and I think the colours help the message of balance come across. The images below are the sketchbook pages that inspired this digital painting and the research that inspired that drawing. Ambivalence is really interesting and links in with my research into balance and the harmony of opposites. We worry so much about being conflicting things and not making sense, when these constraints actually limit us from being true to ourselves. Ambivalently Yours’ work portrays ambivalent emotions well, and her drawings and podcast are something I relate to.
