My painting time for today is out, but anyway my piece wasn’t improving during the last hours. I think I ruined the comp by coloring (I haven’t done any color studies and was wrong about it) and I still got no edge control. There’s also no focus on the Hunter, instead it’s on the statue in the front. What I’m happy with is having explored 3d software, but I must admit it was easier than painting.
Some of the stuff that I have to improve:
- Try to complete work in advance! Otherwise I get too stressed and work inefficiently.
-Color and values. After a value study, do it in color. My coloring is even worse than values if I don’t have a very similar reference. Do master studies, observe the lighting, objects popping from the background, how colors and values work composition wise. Then apply to personal work.
- Brush and edges control. Simplifying colors and values. Trying painterly style. Do master studies. Apply after a study by all means.
- Folds and drapery. I did some studies but I haven’t applied them here at all. Doing more studies in value>color and applying immediately to stuff from imagination must help.
- Train concentration and focus, dive into the process, listen to less distracting stuff while painting and drawing.
