yeah

14 Jan 07:31

Gliger

or some solid hard edge strokes that realy define shapes

14 Jan 07:31

Wardy

uh ok, so the blue top left stuff in the background should be defined more?

14 Jan 07:30

Gliger

something that draws attention like a pipe painted with a saturated color

14 Jan 07:28

Gliger

My eyes easily focus on the character, hard edges, that red, it's great, but the machinery could use more contrast even if it is in the background

14 Jan 07:27

Wardy

haha no thats ok its just there is obviously something wrong that youve noticed and id love to be able to put it right :)

14 Jan 07:26

Wardy

sorry i dont quite get what you mean

14 Jan 07:26

Gliger

ok, sorry for not being able to give you better advice, I'm a noob and still not studying color

14 Jan 07:25

Gliger

Try practicing the stuff that creates contrast, line, color, value, focus, rythm etc. it might help

14 Jan 07:24

Wardy

i wanted it to be quite loose but to focus in on the two elements- the dude and the main machinery bit

14 Jan 07:23

Wardy

and bottom right is a mix of a 90% darkness blue and a 80% darkness blue

14 Jan 07:23

Wardy

i added textures deliberately to try to give some grit to the piece

14 Jan 07:22

Gliger

zooming in helps a bit, so it might be not enough simplification or definition, btw, is that color I see in the bottom right pure black? or almost pure black

14 Jan 07:20

Gliger

I'm trying to think what's wrong with the machinery in the background, the brushtrokes feel dirty, uhh I don't have the vocabulary in english

14 Jan 07:17

Wardy

iwll see what i can do next time i do snow scene and do some studies thanks for that. apart from that is ther anything else i did wrong?

14 Jan 07:16

Wardy

bugger ok, i tried browns but it just didnt work out...

14 Jan 07:16

Gliger

or something that doesn't feel that black

14 Jan 07:16

Gliger

yeah

14 Jan 07:14

Wardy

or do you think i should have done the rocks a dark brown?

14 Jan 07:13

Wardy

the vignette i put on it?

14 Jan 07:13

Wardy

the black?

14 Jan 07:09

Gliger

looks great, but I feel like the black kills your colors

14 Jan 06:54

Wardy

constructicon

i like picasso...

14 Jan 06:32

Gliger

well, I have to study, nice talk

14 Jan 06:27

Gliger

I often talk to friends about how if you want to be a rich modern artist, it's not about what you make, it's about what you are, I can't explain that here because I could get banned or something haha

ive always liked drawing and seen that as the basic form of art. and then there were these people who were into art but they didnt draw and werent interested in learning it, so they do stuff like glue toilet seats to kitchen cabnets, spray-paint it black and then sell it to some art collector for thousands of dollars

14 Jan 06:16

Adam Lina

yea i hate being cynical like this but thats how i kind of see most people who go the fine arts/ modern art route

14 Jan 06:09

Gliger

90% of the people who say they like picasso or art in general just like the concept being ''a guy who is into art''

14 Jan 06:07

Adam Lina

i searched it but its like 2 paintings that arnt cubism. but yea its subjective . i want to like picasso, i just dont know how to lol
