Lyraina's sketchbook

[Lyraina]

aks9: Thank you. Yeah that foot has issues. Kind of run out of time in the end but was determined to keep the pose like I had planned, haha :) Thanks for all the kind words!

Wolkenfels: Thank you! Glad you like it!

Sula: Thank you <3 That was a good point on the saturation hierarchy. I tried to stick to it in my next piece! Must be more deliberate with those things.

Mannyhaatz: Thank you! Yep, still struggling with making figures dynamic...

Where is time going? In failed throwaway pieces, throwaway sketches and rushed finished paintings? D:
Anyway, not much has changed in this one, except for some details.



With this super-rushed-omgdeadline-piece I thought of Sula's hierarchy advice, pushing saturation only in the warm/focal areas, letting shadows and moonlight drop in imporance. Maybe I overdid it a bit, since the first thing my instructor did was pushing the blue in the top for more warm/cold contrast. I will figure out the perfect balance eventually!



CGMA course is over for good now which makes me a sad panda. Today is dedicated to writing mails to friends, catching up on sleep, reading a bit with a nice cup of tea and thinking about my next studies. Tomorrow I will hit the metaphorical drawing board hard. Feelin' good <3
