Opel Astra - Paint %(20200908)%
 
In case you didn’t know, Furbooru’s mascot furball is called Astra. If the joke still makes no sense, there’s a car model by Opel called Astra - Opel Astra.
 
First I painted in MSPaint and it was quite okay. I liked how the brush’s strokes looked, but I was annoyed about the white background. Unfortunately I couldn’t remove the it as the paint wasn’t fully opaque. So I went to redo it in GIMP… several times… till I got frustrated and created a clean vector version (will be in another upload).
 
After consulting people on Furbooru’s Discord as on why my painting attempts in GIMP looked even worse than the one in MSPaint I retried. (Thank you, people.) This time I took a brush that looked less clean, though still not similar to the one I had in MSPaint, but the result seemed acceptable enough without being too shabby to me.
 
At first I even thought about doing it in my sketchbook, but the paper isn’t ideal for colouring, unfortunately. Furthermore, scanning would be a pain, and it would have taken much more time overall. This digital version took already way more time than a “shitpost” should have.
