Hey out of curiosity, have you ever considered recording your drawing process/making a speedpaint?, I really love your art and I have always been curious as to what your process is like. and your recent heavypaint paintings have rekindled this curiosity of mine!. Btw sorry for this long ask.

Thank you so much for the question (and compliment)! Why yes! I've never gone through with it in the past out of fear of my computer going up in flames upon rendering literal hours-long footage. However, HP actually has a timelapse function built in which made things a hell of a lot easier!

So here it is, the overdue robinwaaaaa dot tumblr dot com speedpaint... The sick beats were obligatory:

Full animation will be released on launch day

:D

1: What is your favorite color to work with?

Grey! I absolutely love greyscale stuff and enjoy making works with limited colours (quite literally in this case) in chase of that sweet, sweet feeling of ease you get from freeing yourself from the hell that is colour choice in order to focus on value and form directly. A lot of my stuff’s usually just a couple of saturated hues against a sea of white and/or black. Can’t mess up a colour when there is no colour!

But that’s a bit of a boring answer…

I also love blue! Specifically, imperial blue—that sea colour. You could probably tell by how much I draw space agency coveralls, haha.

The real thing may have only been the size of a beach ball, but making Sputnik the same height as Yuri Gagarin was too good of an idea to pass up.

Artfight attack for @robinjiaying !!

Layers of Helios ⊙

The popular, red renderings of the sun we're most familiar with are often taken in the UV spectrum, showing light emitted from helium atoms in the chromosphere, whereas looking at it in visible light shows a completely blank, white orb (much like Venus… except your eyeballs get simmered off)

Wanted to draw something inspired by this fun little musing. :)

This ain’t the first time this guy appeared on my account, here’s some more of them!
