Practice Infinitum

[nphill19]

So for my Painting class at Uni,(2nd level painting) our midterm is anything goes as long as it can be observed.

I designed this character, made her costume and now she is going to be the subject of my midterm. Calling her the Raven Queen =D



I went through a series of thumbs ending up with these six strongest, and some of them I think I'll bring up in full digitally. But for my oil painting class, the bottom middle won, and that's what I'm going with.



Now, fast forward to the most updated jpeg, and you have this. This is my linear/angular block in establishing form and shadow shapes.



I did have to have my model pose for both figures in the painting, and the fabric is going to be so painful but worth it I think. Also, for the scene, I have to made a maquette, and it was really quite simple. Some candle holders for columns, and some spray paint. Ignore the black outline, I messed up the scale in the early canvas transitioning. Orange is my new standard, sorry for the mess.
