Hobitt

since no ones there to correct your mistakes you have to do it on your own

30 Mar 01:57

Hobitt

--

self teaching sometimes can get very confusing and frustrating

30 Mar 01:57

Hobitt

--

thanks for the input

30 Mar 01:56

Amit Dutta

--

Yep....pick things you need to

30 Mar 01:56

Amit Dutta

--

Be specific in your ref for plugging gaps in technical knowlege, and be broad in gathering for inspiration (to a point)

30 Mar 01:55

Hobitt

i ussualy sketch as far as i can from imagination and then bring reference but then what do with it cant outright copy it since it doesent fit the design so i guess i just need to extract information from it

30 Mar 01:54

Amit Dutta

--

It's plugging gaps...and providing inspiration

30 Mar 01:54

Hobitt

--

yeah im never sure how to use reference

30 Mar 01:53

Amit Dutta

--

Just pay some attention to that in the next challenge. All development, in art and life, is about putting attention onto things that require it

30 Mar 01:52

Hobitt

--

yeah

30 Mar 01:51

Amit Dutta

--

That's just study and ref, if that's what you are after

30 Mar 01:50

Hobitt

--

but that jsut studies i guess

30 Mar 01:50

Hobitt

--

also my rendering dont look... i dont know real the word would be

30 Mar 01:50

Amit Dutta

--

That's the only point of being an artist

30 Mar 01:50

Hobitt

--

yeah i guess sometimes itgood to go beyond the facts

30 Mar 01:50

Amit Dutta

--

And brings us back to Sorrolla

Remember do what the image needs, not necessarily what would be "right"

30 Mar 01:49

Amit Dutta

--

Well one problem is how large that light valie banner is in the comp....you chose to make it very dominant as well

30 Mar 01:48

Hobitt

--

because it made no sense if the banner is the light source then surely the wall would be lit too

30 Mar 01:47

Amit Dutta

--

Or use atmo perspective (subtle since we're inside) to pop out important shapes that enhance depth....such as his arm etc

30 Mar 01:47

Hobitt

--

but in the final i made the wall also light

30 Mar 01:47

Hobitt

in the original thumbnail the banner was the only light part
