Next, I began to do some experiments while working in a more analogue setting, (with some digital experimentation as well) – playing more with different mediums and styles- digital, mixed media, watercolor/gouache and markers were the main mediums I played with, both individually and combined.
I found that I enjoyed working with a combination of paint and markers best, as this was the closest I could get to simulating my digital art style traditionally.
I paid close attention to color and lighting, as I wanted to get a better grasp of this so that I could create engaging and visually pleasing cgs for the visual novel that I was working towards making at the time.
These experiments also helped me a lot with my work when I decided to switch to working with lino in a more traditional way, as they allowed for me to translate my designs into an analogue setting in an effective way.
