More wood effects
Added 2024-10-11 19:47:08 +0000 UTCMy friends, I'm just dropping you a quick update on the barn door. THIS IS THE MOST FUN PART OF THE ENTIRE PROJECT!
I still have those 3 plywood pieces on the right side to finish, but I don't want to rush them and I'm already tired today. Oh, and yes, that shredded, pink-colored piece of plywood is in the reference images! :) In fact, a lot of the effects are directly interpreted from the references. I'm just adding more color variation to the individual pieces because it's just so damn fun to play around with different effects on each piece.
The techniques are always the same: dry brushing, thick brush application, chipping fluid, black and rust-colored washes, and subtle outlining/chipping. But the fun part is that you can switch the order of these techniques, omit some of them, or rely more on one over the other. It all depends on the effect you're aiming for.
I'm gonna relax a little now and will do my best to get back to you tomorrow!

2024-10-17 18:56:57 +0000 UTCAll these boarded up elements add so much to wooden structures! Although at times it might be quite over the top, it just looks cool!

2024-10-17 18:56:41 +0000 UTCI think it's the cross grain that really brings this to life...where the up and down grain meets the horizontal grain. Excellent work and contrast
