Bag of Coins- 30min Speedpaint Day 10

This drawing was even trickier than I expected and I've drawn something similar in pixel art before. I spent 5 min looking for references

Items are actually harder to draw fast than environments, since we expect sharper details from close up objects than environments and perspective problems are more apparent.

I started drawing a coin in perspective, but I realized I wouldn't have nearly enough time to draw each coin, so I drew a flat front and back view of a coin and copy pasted it around. Drawing the coin was my favorite part,

I love drawing shiny objects. It took me a while to learn how to paint shine, but the main trick is to add bright areas where the shadows are. Also keep in mind the shape of the object, if there are bumps or indents.

I focused mostly on the coins so I had little time left for the bag. I didn't like the direction it was going, so I painted over it completely with big brush strokes. I wanted it to be barely noticeable.
I added several overlay and multiply layers at the end to make the drawing pop out as much as possible without over doing it.

I use ref just to get inspired, I avoid copying when possible.

Oh yes, 5 minutes of looking for refs is fine. I usually do that too, NOT 2 hours+, mind you, I swear. Heheh >_>

I don't want to assume and sounding like I'm looking down on your art skill, which I'm not, but you seem a bit dissatisfied by the result of this one? For me, I really like the look of it! Looking at it I'm getting a fantasy and/or RPG vibes, maybe one of the transitioning arts in an RPG game while the narrator speaks or something like that ^^
It's pretty cool!

Thank you xD And yeah you got it right, the way I drew/or didn't draw the rope around the bag is bothering me haha. I love how some of the details turned out, like the coins, but I feel it needs more details xD I could work more on it, but I'll rather do another one. If I need this some day for a game or anything I can always rework it. :D

And yeahh I can spend hours and hours looking for reference, this challenge has helped me incredibly to be more choosy with my time :D
