Moving on the big cat picture, I am reminded of all the crazy bugs that plague my work flow when I am working with large files. I spend more time with file management than I do painting.
I am teaching myself to paint proper fur, which is something I've never worked on in detail before. Ordinarily, I watch my line count. This is where I go into a drawing and count all the lines. It's a routine I've picked up from animation, since every line I draw would have to be animated.
For example, the figure above has just shy of forty lines. Simplifying the fur, usually in clumps of three, will save on lines. Already the big cat has a line count of what, just shy of a million? And that's what bogs down my computer.
